Myth of place: Celebrating the north in epic style. Epic in scope, lyrical in its celebration of nature, frequently uncompromising in its portrayal of human violence and greed, and rich in the keenly observed details -- colours, sounds, rhythms, scents, and voices -- that constitute this place we call our home and native land, this book sings an alternate history, a myth of place, not origins, that cradles us all.
