Told as if the animals are human, this tale of two friends taking a journey together, confronting their fears and going on a vision quest has also been adapted for the theater. The elaborate drawings with characters in full native garb on horseback through the prairie combined with the moral/fable approach to the tale make it most appropriate for older children or even young adults. CROW AND WEASEL offers a gentle retelling of the vision quest of two young men. They seek to fulfill the dream of MOUNTAIN LION, a village elder, to learn about the unknown and unexplored lands north of their village. Traveling on horseback, they encounter vast new terrain and animals until they reach the Inuit people who come to welcome and to teach them. The mood remains low suspense until taking a gruesome turn as they decide to eat one of their horses rather than starve. GRIZZLY BEAR arrives in time to spare this tale from horror. Paintings are Five Star amazing. This book has wonderful paintings displaying the adventure that they go through. The two young men set out on a journey all alone for the first time.

On their bold and wonderful journey, Crown and Weasel meet with terrifying danger and spectacular beauty. They come face to face with Eskimos who welcome the young travellers to their hunting camp on the edge of the tundra. In this novella-length fable, Barry Lopez, bestselling author of Arctic Dreams and Of Wolves and Men, and recipient of the National Book Award and the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing, returns to his abiding concerns - our spiritual relationship with the landscape, respect for traditions different from our own, and our human obligations to one another. Tom Pohrt's paintings, based on indigenous clothing and artefacts of the northern plains, bring to life this marvellous quest and amplify its message. 2 cassettes. No library descriptions found. |
