The jewel is now set in the Queen Mother’s coronation crown. The imperial treasury of the 1600s, as described by a handful of gasping visitors, cascaded with gems of exceptional size, clarity and colour. On festive occasions the Mughal emperor would have himself weighed against offerings of gems, pearls and gold presented by his courtiers – and then distribute the treasure among the people. Well before diamonds became a western synonym for wealth, Hindu scriptures endowed gems with magical, even divine, qualities, while central Asians – including 16th-century India’s Mughal rulers – prized rubies as tangible distillations of the light of the setting sun. “Follow the diamond,” they realise, and it can lead into a dynamic, original and supremely readable history of empires. In this vivid history of one of the world’s most celebrated gemstones, the Indian diamond known as the Koh-i-Noor, Anita Anand and William Dalrymple put an inventive twist on the old maxim. I nvestigative journalists know that the way into a great story is to “follow the money”. Today her life as Miss Dianna Foxcroft would end… and her life as Lady Dianna Radnor, wife of Miles Radnor, Earl of Winfield, would begin. Today she would solemnly repeat the vows of marriage.

I gave the book 5 stars for many reasons. McDermott's other trickster tales include: Raven: A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest, Zomo the Rabbit: A Trickster Tale from West Africa, Jabuti the Tortoise: A Trickster Tale from the Amazon, Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti, and Pig-Boy: A Trickster Tale from Hawai'i. I also thoroughly enjoyed the flat, geometric illustrations and the contrast of Coyote's brilliant blue against the sandy, red-brown of the Southwest. From the start, you know the Coyote will never be able to accomplish his goal, but you read anyway because you want to experience his comical calamity.

He is always getting in trouble, usually because he is rude, boastful and proud.
