Description

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 72 pages. 8 3/8"w x 11"h. Slight edge wear. Text in English and Gitksan. Red and black illustrations. "Ksan is an Indian village in the mountains of north central British Columbia. The Gitksan people have lived in this country for over six thousand years. The people who tell these legends are the latest generation of 'Ksan storytellers. They have not merely preserved the ancient stories but have re-animated them with wonderful humour and delightful irony."
