About This Item
Boston/Toronto/London: Little, Brown and Company, 1989. This children's book is quite extraordinary. Out of the rich storytelling tradition of the Maritime Indians steps the giant Glooskap who first creates human beings and then travels among them....from the Bay of Fundy to the shores of New England. Here are six unusual tales, full of wit and wisdom, that aptly capture the rich mystical world of this mythic giant as he pits his powers and magic against the forces of nature and evil that threaten all he has created. The text is wonderfully illustrated with the most impressive wood engravings of Michael McCurdy. Orange boards show edge-sunning to extreme top and bottom edge...a common occurance for this type of board and color. A lovely clean book with no ownership markings. The illustrated dust jacket shows a short closed tear to upper left of front panel. It remains price-intact and bright.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
