Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Light shelfwear, else Fine, tight uncreased spine. // 'In The Whale People, young Atlin must one day succeed his father Nit-gass, a great whaling chief of the Hotsath people. The boy trains for his role with the mixture of yearning and apprehension experienced by every youth racing toward adulthood-except that in Atlin's case, his whole community is depending on his success. With lean, sure-footed prose, Haig-Brown captures the tangled emotions of adolescence, and in the process conveys a vivid portrait of pre-Columbian life on the West Coast. Never preachy or condescending, The Whale People is richly furnished with the material and spiritual mainstays of its characters: canoes, harpoons, animals and tumanos, the personal magic a great whaler and leader must possess. Timeless is a term too freely bandied about, but seldom has a story so deftly married the moment with the millennia. Written 40 years ago-it was named Book of the Year for Children by the Canadian Library Association in 1964-it could be set 400 years ago, yet there is not one quaint or dated sentence in it.
