Description

First published in 1918, Canadian Wonder Tales is a collection of Canadian folk fables compiled from oral history; these universal stories are about understanding one’s place in and how to make sense of the elemental world. Mostly animal stories, with “all the usual features of magic and transformation and interchange of more or less kindly offices between man and beast,” Canadian Wonder Tales is a spellbinding record of Canada’s unique mythologies.

“[You’ ll] learn in this book the answers to such conundrums as the following–why Aspen leaves tremble, what Woodpecker and Bluejay were before they were changed into birds, why the Moon usually travels alone in the forest.” (from the 1917 introduction)
