Description:
Toronto/Montreal: McClelland and Stewart Limited, 1970. From the foreword:. Reprint. Hard Cover. As New/No Jacket. Illus. by Robert Frankeberg. 8 1/2" x 5 ½"The Glooscap legend is essentially a creation story.
Glooscap, a mythical Wabanaki hero, is referred to as the Great Chief, Master and is said to be the maker of Little People (fairies), which came first, then men and women and finally out of the rocks and clay, Glooscap made the animals. In each of the short stories, Glooscap conducts some form of intervention. Waba- naki's humorous benevolent demigod, Glooscap, affable hero or final authority in scores of legends. Glooscap created a world — parts of the Maritimes and New England — where the Wabanaki, surrounded by archetypal animal characters, contended with King Winter, cruel Famine, cannibal chenoos, and cold- blooded, wizardly boooins.
