Despre această carte electronică

When Muwin the bear spies a lame snowshoe hare, he decides to have rabbit for dinner. What he doesn't realize is that the hare is Mahtoqehs, the Great Magic Hare of the Woods. As Muwin pursues the creature, the hare transforms himself into a hunter, an herb woman, and an old chief, who, on alternate nights entertains the bear and feeds him stew. The book preserves the humor and beauty of the Passamaquoddy culture of Maine and eastern Canada.
