Based on explorer and anthropologist Knud Rasmussens transcriptions of oral tales, this collection features stories about children and young people stories that have been passed on through generations. 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. Youll meet all of them and much more in these old Greenlandic myths and legends which have been retold and illustrated especially for children.
