During the long cold winter nights, Inuit families snuggled together in their winter houses and listened to tales about a time when unbelievable things could happen. 

These adventurers broke up the long hours of winter darkness and gave the listeners a cultural and traditional heritage. 

Storytellers told two kinds of stories: ancient and recent. 

Ancient stories told of fantastic things—about encounters with animals in human form, and about witches and sea goddesses. 

Recent tales included the adventures of hunters on land and sea—stories about courage, strength, vanity, and conceit. 

Each myth is enhanced by the expert commentary of noted scholars and mythology specialists.

Each chapter is followed by a Question and Answer section which covers themes, symbols, and characters.
