Review of 'The raven steals the light' on 'GoodReads'

Interesting stories, skilfully retold and accompanied with beautiful drawings. The existence of this book is both a happy and a sad thing: putting an oral tradition into writing both to share it with the world and to protect it in case things continue to get worse for the storytellers. There are some elegiac moments in the book which are quite powerful.
