In STORIES FROM THE SIX WORLDS Micmac Legends are returned to the People, and offered to all people whose search for meaning draws them again to the ancient cultures.It is the surviving stories, passed down by word of mouth, that best represents Micmac culture. For in their tales the People themselves speak about their world and give glimpses of how their universe arose and how they were expected to act. Their tales resound with the universal themes included in any world view - Duty, Fear, Change, Revenge, Rebirth and Power.This collection of twenty-nine stories shows the mythical Micmac world - the world of the Old Ones. Drawing on various sources, Ruth Whitehead retells the stories in a voice close to that of the original storytellers. The result is astonishing. A new perception emerges, and the reality behind the myth reaches out to encompass all those who will listen.The Voice of the Storyteller has breath once again.
