| Abstract |
"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."-- Provided by publisher. |
