Animals -- Folklore, Animals, Indigenous peoples -- Legends 

"Where Glooscap was born, and when — no man knows. Of appalling size and magic powers, it was Glooscap who made the Indians of the eastern woodlands, and the animals, too. In the Old Time, the Indians invented wondrous stories about this mythical hero, and about spirits they pictured as giants and wizards and magical animals. They tell these tales, even to this day, and the stories the children love best are the stories of Glooscap.

Kay Hill adapted these Wabanaki legends for television presentation and now offers them for the delight of youngsters everywhere. And, skillfully told in her charming style, who can fail to be delighted with mischievous Badger and his impish tricks, the fun-loving Rabbit who tries to be a woodpecker, or the story of how Glooscap outwitted the Ice King? Here is magic indeed — stories to enjoy alone or to be read aloud, of the benevolent, humorous and wise Glooscap and his peopel."--Book jacket.
