"Promise to remember me!" was all the beautiful woman had ever said to
the hunter. She had appeared from nowhere one day, when he had been
lonely during the long winter hunting trip. Isolated in the vast
wilderness of the northeast, he would only return to his village in
the spring. Except that this year he would not be alone, because she
had appeared. The hunter had quickly fallen in love with the
mysterious woman, and together they had become their own little
family. But when spring arrived and it was time to return to the
village, she disappeared just as suddenly as she had arrived. Would he
ever see his love again? The hunter didn't know, but he was sure he
would keep his promise and never forget her. That is, until one day
the chief's daughter cast a spell on him! World-renowned storyteller
Joseph Bruchac retells this traditional story of love, loyalty, trust,
and magic, which can be found in various forms among many of the
indigenous nations of the northeast, both Iroquoian and Algonquin.
Join him and award-winning illustrator Bill Farnsworth, as they
recount this ancient and unique Abenaki tale of keeping a promise to
one's family and of the proper relationship of humans to the natural
world.
