Description

In the Arctic, tales of tiny people who live out on the land abound. This children's story follows the adventures of an orphan who is adopted by one of the magical dwarves that are common in Inuit legends.
Based on a traditional Inuit legend and retold by CBC personality Alan Neal, this contemporary introduction to Arctic little folk is sure to ignite the imaginations of young readers.

About the authors

Alan Neal is a Canadian journalist and playwright whose first project involving the creatures of Inuit myth was on a film Neil Christopher was making in Iqaluit years ago about the demon Mahaha. Alan’s tasks then included coaching child actors, wrangling dogs, and performing the role of Grip #3. Although the film never did get finished, Alan fell in love with both the stories and the beauty of Iqaluit. He currently hosts the CBC radio program All in a Day in Ottawa, and has also hosted the programs Ontario Today, Bandwidth, and Fuse.
