| Summary, etc. |
According to Tsimshian legend, when an old man's sight was restored by Loon, he gave the bird his precious shell necklace as a reward. That is why the loon has a white collar and speckles on its back. This Canadian First Nations tale first became generally known when it was the subject of a distinguished short film released in 1950. When Elizabeth Cleaver illustrated it in 1977, the book she created with William Toye very quickly became popular and remains one of the best loved Canadian picture storybooks. Elizabeth Cleaver's rich and beautiful style of picture making, collages assembled with torn paper, paper cutouts and linocuts, gives new visual excitement to the splendours of the British Columbia interior, and to the magic of an Aboriginal legend. |
