Come to the campfire and hear the magical tales of loons.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Loon Legends: A Collection of Tales Based on Legends (Paperback)
In this book you are transported to the tribal summer camp on the lakeshore of a group of Native Americans. You find yourself sitting around the campfire invited to experience life of an earlier age where evenings were pleasently spent telling and retelling the old legends. On this night, the silent passing of a loon sets the topic, the many and magical legends of loons. This book is so well written that it takes little imagination to see and smell the campfire and join in with the excitement of the others around you, the boy anxious for his first try at telling a favorite story to the group, the young mother trying to hush her infant, the shaman who beat the drum, in accompainment to the stories. And, most importantly, from out over the lake, clearly came the loons' haunting calls, cries that sounded far off and very near at the same time. The legends told this night are older than the country itself, legends of this tribe and others borrowed and rewoven from neighboring tribes. My personal favorites are about how the loon got his necklace and the creation story about the part the loon played in creation. Young or old, male or female, rural or urban everyone can find something to love in this book, in my opinion. Every summer, and sometimes in the cold, long, dead of winter, I bring out this book and find myself once again at that campfire of yesteryear and enjoy the tales of the most majestic bird ever to be heard in this the north country. The bird that brings out the love of the wild in us all.
