Nine Visits to the Mythworld Ghandl of the Qayahl Llaanas

As new. ; A near-fine volume in a near-fine dj. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; Masterworks of the Classical Haida Mythtellers #2; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 222 pages; " In November 1900, when Ghandl dictated these nine stories, the Haida world lay in ruins. Wave upon wave of smallpox and other diseases, rapacious commercial exploitation by fur traders, whalers and miners, and relentless missionization by the church had taken a huge toll on Haida culture. Yet in the blind poet's mind, the great tradition lived, and in his voice it comes alive."
