Raven: A Collection of Woodcuts

In this charming book, well-known Alaskan artist Dale De Armond has translated the ancient Tlingit myths of Raven into easy and pleasurable reading to accompany a series of her wood-block prints. It's a unique combination, achieved with sensitivity and humor. The 28 legends De Armond chose are the Tlingit versions of such universal myths as the Creation, the great Flood and the Virgin Birth. Their principal character is, of course, the Raven, the Creator.
