Raven the hero,
By
This review is from: Raven Returns the Water (Paperback)
It is my view that folktales - tales of such quality that people kept the story alive for centuries - are excellent literature for people of any age. Anne Cameron aims her retellings of Northwest Native tales at a young audience but all of us can enjoy all of them. This particular volume is a favorite as I especially enjoy Nelle Olsen's illustrations.In this tale Raven recovers all the water of the world which she finds in a very selfish frog. Anne Cameron uses her considerable skills as a writer to plant the tale firmly in the Northwest wet, sea-based native culture.
