A Young Man Comes of Age in Prehistoric America. In this tale- a young Ice-Age boy plays a key role in the survival of his band more than twelve thousand years ago. Eyr's band is hungry and in need of new skins. The old seer predicts a coming snow and without a good supply of meat- the band may starve or die of cold. Eyr walks over meadows and hills with the other hunters- looking for tracks- but they return with little game. That night Eyr dreams of killing the great wooly mammoth with his sharp spear. He imagines how his band would dance and feast- with food to last them through the dark winter. The next morning the band's hunter-leader wakes him. Having reached the age that he can hunt alone- Eyr is sent to scout the large beasts that roam the tundra- especially the wooly mammoths. Taking only his cape- his knife- his spear- and a smoldering ember- Eyr sets out to become a man and save his band. Hardcover.
