Additional information

Dr Muriel Whitaker is a medievalist who found herself teaching a children's literature course because she had five children and had ‘done the reading’. Apart from her work in the University of Alberta, last winter she made a 3,000-mile round trip every two weeks to teach children's literature courses at Inuvik, a settlement of about 4,000 people (including Indians and Eskimos) on the shores of the Arctic Ocean.
