Once, in the Far North, words could work magic. People could become any animal they imagined. Weather was born of a child's fancy, and rainbows marked the threshold of a new frontier. Edward Field's mystical creation poems explore that long-ago place with grace, humor, and warmth. Stefano Vitale's dazzling images, painted on wood, bark, and stone, complete this celebration of the beauty and magic to be found in our natural world.
