Annangai! This week's tales comes from the chilly tundra of Eskimo-land! (JK, there's no such place, and yes it sounds kinda demeaning, but then again, so does this week's book). With a repeat appearance by last week's author, Clara Kern Bayliss, a talented authoress still missing her own Wikipedia entry. Hear on!
