About this title

Synopsis

In this story of spiritual adventure, a young man journeys through the arctic wilderness to find a family of wolverine and learn more about their mysterious power. (1997)

Review

Teaming up once again with Tom Pohrt, the illustrator of Crow and Weasel, noted environmental writer Barry Lopez offers a simply written but deeply learned fable set in the high Arctic. His story involves talking animals, wise and not so wise humans, long-nursed memories, and features of the northern landscape that are millions of years old. Like Crow and Weasel, Lessons from the Wolverine is suitable for younger readers, but older ones will cherish Lopez's nostalgia for a time when it was easier "to be near animals until they showed you something that you didn't imagine or you hadn't seen or heard."
