I tried writing synopsis for this book for the intro page … what do you think?

“Tuktu and her brother, Aklak, are Eskimo children who live happily with their beloved reindeer in the Northland. When Tuktu is lost in a fog, she meets Santa Claus or the Good Spirit as she knows him. This generous little girl wants to share her reindeer with the children of the world and so works to help Santa on his annual Christmas journey.”

cheers

Tuktu is a wise little girl. I hope Aklak listens to her!

There are two mistakes in the text that I have corrected in my read and will send to Project Gutenberg (this happened in previous project so I still have the contact info).
In Chapter 21 at 5:24 the text reads "Kutok" but should logically be "Aklak".
In Chapter 22 at 2:10 the name "Ikok" which has never appeared before is in the logical place for "Kutok". Maybe a scanner mistake?

On to the grand finale!

I think it's cool that LibriVoxers can be another round of proofreading for Project Gutenberg e-books. I've submitted a couple reports myself, and received fairly prompt responses from the P.G. bug-fix team.

PL ok! That was so cute! It didn't happen quite as I expected, but then on the other hand, I'm not really sure what I was expecting! This one kept me guessing. :wink:

I'll start the cataloguing process now, but won't be able to finish it till tomorrow.
