In this marvellous collection, storyteller Eva Martin has collected and retold twelve Canadian fairy tales. Drawn from the French, Irish and British oral tradition of the people who first settled Canada, these tales were transformed by the settlers' encounter with the new land. True fairy tales, they document the collision of the "normal world" with the mysterious and irrational world of faerie, and confirm that Canada has its own rich magic tradition.

Although most of these tales have recognizable fairy tale characters, all of them have a peculiarly Canadian twist which makes them unique.
