Description

Scarborough, Ontario, Canada: Annick Press, 1990. Unpaginated picture book. Stapled binding is firm. Clean, bright book with minor traces of wear from handling, very gently read. Erasure on flyleaf. Fable about a lost child in the Arctic who is rescued by a strange Beast. The author based her tale in part on the mythology of peoples from the Siberian North: Chukchi, Evenk, and Nentsii, which perhaps accounts for its strangely beautiful attraction. Award-winning illustrator Tibo loves stories with snow and mysterious discoveries and created truly outstanding artwork for this book.. Soft Cover. Near Fine. Illus. by Gilles Tibo. 8.25 x 10.5 in..
