Song of the Earth

In Song of the Axe, his magnificent family saga of prehistory, John R. Dann told of a tribe whose chieftains were always named Grae, after a glorious ancestor from whom they were all descended. Now Dann returns to tell the earlier epic story of that famous, original Grae and his children and of the migration of related tribes over great distances and three generations under their leadership.

Grae leads the original tribe northward into central and Eastern Europe and a better life. Their story is an adventure on the grandest scale, full of thrilling dangers, romance, and beguiling mystery in an exotic setting. A rich and complex story told with simplicity, authenticity, and vigor, Song of the Earth is a worthy companion to Song of the Axe.
