Description

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 124 pages. 8 1/4"w x 10 1/4"h. Tear on dust jacket. Twelve full-page color illustrations by Laszlo Gal. "Drawn from the French, Irish and British oral tradition of the people who first settled Canada, these tales were transformed by the settlers' encounter with the new land. Ture fairy tales, they document the collision of the "normal world" with the mysterious and irrational world of faerie, and confirm that Canada has its own rich magic tradition."
