The Raven Kutkha: Northern Tales

In the Arctic — by the cold seas of the Arctic Ocean, in Siberia and the Far East — along the northwestern coast of the Pacific Ocean, indigenous peoples have lived for ages: Chukchi, Eskimos, Orochi, Koryaks, Mansi, Nivkhi, Nanai...... And the elders told their grandchildren tales: about the little duck, the swan, the weasel, the Arctic fox, and the wolverine. About the unfamiliar inhabitants of the tundra and taiga to people from other places. Simple-hearted and cunning, brave and cowardly, foolish and wise... And all these qualities of the heroes of northern tales were noted and conveyed in his illustrations by the artist Evgeny Rachev. Contents The Missing Song. An Eskimo Tale. The Bunny. A Mansi Tale.
