The Man of the Moon Gunvor Bjerre 1st edition

Based on explorer and anthropologist Knud Rasmussen’s transcriptions of oral tales, this collection features stories about children and young people – stories that have been passed on through generations. Talking animals, flying shamans, orphans so poor they have to walk barefoot through the snow and men so strong they can carry a whale all on their own. You’ll meet all of them and much more in these old Greenlandic myths and legends which have been retold and illustrated … especially for children.
