      About This Book

      Magic Words describes a world where humans and animals share bodies and
      languages, where the world of the imagination mixes easily with the physical. It
      began as a story that told how the Inuit people came to be and became a legend
      passed from generation to generation. In translation it grew from myth to poem.
      The text comes from expedition notes recorded by Danish explorer Knud
      Rasmussen in 1921. Edward Field got a copy from the Harvard Library and
      translated it into English.
