Mouse Woman and the Muddleheads

By Christie Harris

Book Overview

Very long ago, supernatural beings called narnauks roamed the seas and vast green wilderness of the Northwest Coast. Among them was Mouse Woman, a tiny, hilariously prim soul whose self-appointed duty was to see that everyone and everything was proper. Anyone who couldn't see the right way of doing things was a muddlehead, and Mouse Woman had little patience with muddleheads, human or narnauk. In these witty tales, this captivating creature uses tact and trickery to restore decorum to a variety of wayward characters. Based on Canada's rich native Haida folklore, these enchanting stories feature the striking artwork of Douglas Tait and an insightful new introduction by Christie Harris's daughter.
