The Frog Princess: A Tlingit Legend from Alaska

4 months ago

Retold by Eric A. Kimmel and illustrated by Rosanne Litzinger.

The story revolves around the daughter of a Tlingit tribal leader who rejects all her human suitors, declaring that she would rather marry a frog from the lake.

One night, a handsome young man with slightly bulging eyes and long fingers appears at her door, and she follows him to a new life underwater with the Frog People.

Her father, desperate to have her back, threatens the Frog People with war, eventually getting her back but only temporarily. The princess, however, is determined to return to her new life with the Frog People and her children.
