A fascinating story with fabulous illustrations!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kahtahah (Paperback)
This book captures the true story of a young Alaska native girl growing up in a family devoted to the old Tlingit customs but still adapting (if often reluctantly) to the ways of the whites increasingly dominating their world. More a set of stories than a single narrative, it includes retellings of several folk tales, historical details of how the Tlingit lived, and a lot of beautiful drawings I spent many childhood afternoons trying to copy.My grandmother gave me an earlier edition of this book when I was nine, and by the time I turned thirteen I'd read it so many times it literally fell apart. I still have it and enjoy rereading it.
