The ten Inuit tales in this collection are from the folklore of Siberia, Alaska, Greenland and the Canadian Arctic. Although rooted in the specific culture of the far North, they have a universal appeal. Full of mystery and magic, they include the story of a seagull who longs to be human, an orphaned boy taken in by giants, and a girl who can dream down geese from the sky. Dramatic colour paintings and friezes are inspired by the art of the Inuit peoples.
