Ballantyne\u003cbr\u003eOne fine autumn evening, between eight and nine hundred years ago, two large hairy creatures, bearing some resemblance to polar bears, might have been seen creeping slowly, and with much caution, toward the summit of a ridge that formed a spur to one of the ice-clad mountains of Greenland. The creatures went on all-fours. They had long bodies, short legs, shorter tails, and large round heads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving gained the top of the ridge they peeped over and beheld a hamlet nestled at the foot of a frowning cliff; and at the head of a smiling inlet. We use these terms advisedly, because the cliff, being in deep shadow, looked unusually black and forbidding, while the inlet, besides being under the influence of a profound calm, was lit up on all its dimples by the rays of the setting sun.","brand":"Delmarva Publications, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073596473584,"sku":"2940151180153","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151180153_p0.jpg?v=1764007467","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151180153","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
