<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of old Greenlandic myths and legends that have been passed down orally for generations, featuring young protagonists.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Based primarily on explorer and anthropologist Knud Rasmussen's transcriptions of oral tales, the stories in this anthology of old Greenlandic myths and legends have been passed down through generations. This collection features stories about children and young people--stories that were told in the depths of winter, that the youngest listeners would one day tell to their own children. Talking animals, flying shamans, orphans so poor they have to walk barefoot through the snow, and men so strong they can carry a whale all on their own: you'll meet all of them and more in this collection.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Hunting, killing, and skinning animals is a prominent feature (with moments such as harp seals having their heads smashed together), but the brutality is balanced by humor (if earthy; lots of pee and poo) and compelling action...Copious watercolor illustrations by Greenlandic artist Jacobsen are often comical, always loose and lively, in warm blues and browns, with a full-page illustration for each story and occasional small, labeled pictures of animals and objects.--The Horn Book Magazine</p><br><br>A compendium of Greenland's Inuit culture places readers in a realm of icy waters and shape-shifting animals.<br>
