Gathered from the Indigenous peoples and old settlers of eastern Canada, these tales tell how the hero Glooskap made the birds, how Rabbit tricked the grain buyers, how an old woman shaped a gum figure to catch a thief, and how Saint Nicholas came to the children. MacMillan, a McGill professor, retells them for young readers.
