The history of the now defunct craft of traditional play doll making, as practiced by the Inuit people of Canada's barren northern lands, is presented in this handsomely produced volume. Divided into three sections, (1) Inuit Play Dolls, (2) Inuit Collectors Dolls, and (3) Other Dolls from across the Arctic, this work illustrates and discusses almost 200 dolls. The text is in English, with some captions and passages also in Inuktitut.
