Eskimo Folk-Tales with Illustrations by native Eskimo artists

by Knud Rasmussen, W. Worster (Translator)

Overview

These stories were collected in various parts of Greenland, taken down from the lips of the Eskimo story-tellers themselves, by Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explorer.
No man is better qualified to tell the story of Greenland, or the stories of its people. Knud Rasmussen is himself partly of Eskimo origin; his childhood was spent in Greenland, and to Greenland he returned again and again, studying, exploring, crossing the desert of the inland ice, making unique collections of material, tangible and otherwise, from all parts of that vast and little-known land.
Wonderful Eskimo folk tales for children of all ages. Read and learn about raven, the thunder spirits and the great bear just to name a few!
