Red Rooney 

Set in the unforgiving landscape of Greenland 'Red Rooney’ follows the story of English traveller Red Rooney. Struggling to survive in the icy landscape, a starving Rooney is found one day by an Inuit out hunting, named Okiok. He takes Rooney back to his village, where Rooney is taken in by Okiok and his wife. Plenty of icy adventures lie ahead for the unlikely friends, as they contend with a devious wizard, the harsh environment, and even the complications of romance. A hugely enjoyable tale by the much-loved Scottish author R.M. Ballantyne. –
