Seller's Description:
James Houston B&W drawings. As New in Very Good jacket. Book CONDITION: Published in 2006 by Odyssey/Harcourt YOung Classics, first edition, first printing. This is an unread school library book with a school stamp on the bottom of the title page, dust jacket in mylar cover, library barcode and taped DJ to book. The interior is clean. Also, the paper used for this book reminds one of the "cheaper" paper that was used in the 40's and 50's. I find that very odd. Houston illustrates his own book with great B&W drawings. Vaughan Andrews beautiful dust jacket art. Ages 8+. CONTENT: Houston made his first journey to the Canadian Arctic in 1948 in search of a new land to paint. There he found a warm, friendly people living in a vast, cold, hauntingly beautiful world. He lived with the Inuit and Indian people in the Arctic and grew to understand them and their way of life. He also helped introduce Inuit culture to the world with his remarkable art and stories. Here are four of his exciting Inuit folktales--Akavak, Tiktaliktak, The White Archer, and Wolf Run--collected for the first time in one beautiful volume. Houston's striking illustrations for each story bring the Arctic and its people to life. This inspired collection is sure to fascinate readers of all ages. Includes an introduction by Theodore Taylor.
