Ed Keithahn collected thirty-five age-old Eskimo tales for this fascinating collection while teaching in the Arctic village of Shishmaref. He noted, "Most tales will be found to have a moral significance, some are merely humorous." Strange creatures like dwarfs and animal people populate these stories, illustrated by George Aden Ahgupuk (who went on to become a popular artist). This compilation of traditional Alaskan folklore will delight readers of all ages.
