Condition: FINE. First printing. A retelling of an Inuit myth based on a tale the Danish/Eskimo Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen, one which "explains the origin of community celebration, a boy is transported by an Eagle-man to a mountain top where frail Eagle Mother charges Marten with completing four tasks in order to learn the meaning of joy and teach it to his people. . . This ancient myth has origins in a harsh world where life is endless toil; it also has relevance to modern culture where striving and lack of community make the gift of joy elusive." (Library Journal) Illustrated by Kiuchi which neo-impressionist paintings which capture the cold sweep of an Arctic landscape to the earthy interior of a feast hall filled with the moving shadows of dancers, singers, and drummers. SIGNED opposite the title page by Kiuchi underneath an original drawing (a self-portrait) Large format, unpaginated. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 90821
