From the Dust Jacket: "Into this haunting tale of a misfit boy who finds his place by following his heart, Palle Petersen has deftly interwoven authentic Inuit legends and myths. Deeply rooted in the unique old Inuit way of life, they are very different from those told in the 'western' world and convey a striking picture of another culture. Jens Rosing, who is half Inuit and half Danish, has drawn upon his own childhood in Greenland as inspiration for his illustrations.". First American Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by Rosing, Jens . 32pp.
