The tales in this book were gathered from the Eskimo who make their homes along the Arctic coast and rivers of the Seward Peninsula. Edward L. Keithahn was Curator and Librarian of the Alaska Historical Museum and Library. Originally produced by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1953. Illustrated by George Aden Ahgupuk.

Ed Keithahn collected thirty-five age-old Eskimo tales for this fascinating collection while teaching in the Arctic village of Shishmaref. He noted, "Most tales will be found to have a moral significance, some are merely humorous." Strange creatures like dwarfs and animal people populate these stories, illustrated by George Aden Ahgupuk (who went on to become a popular artist). This compilation of traditional Alaskan folklore will delight readers of all ages.
