This is the story of young Ninel Gink and the people and town of Rehc Taht; the most northerly European town in the world. They live in darkness most of the year and are surrounded by ice, listen to the radio phone-in programmes and love the telephone. It is a political satire on the history of Britain. An ecological parable for our times. Based on the fictional town of Rehc Taht, this story shows a loving, deep respect and fascination for the Inuit culture and history. This is one in a series of three books: Rehc Taht Fables, Age of Discovery and Darktown After Dark. This is an ongoing project that was started in 1988.
