This is a longer retelling of the Raven stories, no origin is given, but several story-collecting anthropologists and folklorists are thanked. The prose is pleasant, with an old fashioned sound. The characters have well developed personalities, and the stories feel fresh. Acknowledging that it is far removed from any original story, it makes an entertaining epic. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To Thelma, "fellow-farer true through life, heart-whole and soul-free", who has shared with me the discovery of Canada. Our hikes in the Rockies are remembered in these pages.
First words
Once upon a time, long before the White Man was born, no one lived in Canada but the Indians and the wild animals, and they lived in utter darkness.

Book description
“Do not weep for my poor brothers,” Sketco tells his mother. “I will find them and restore them to you. And I will make my uncle pay for the evil he has brought upon us.”

These are the tales of Sketco the Raven. Sketco’s adventures take him from the home of the eerie shark people, deep in the seas, to the mountains above the clouds where Thunder and his daughter Lightening live. And through his cunning, trickery and transformations, Sketco delivers the world the moon, the Sun and the stars. He gives birds their colours, gives man fire, helps create the tides and much more.
