MUKTU, THE BACKWARD MUSKOX: This is the story of a young muskox, or a young anything, that just can't seem to get things right. She hasn't any horns yet, she isn't very brave, and when the adult muskoxen form a protective circle, Muktu always ends up the wrong way round. This story was written after the author spent a summer working in the Canadian Arctic.
