Her media vary — gouache, ink, watercolor, whatever will. achieve the correct effect. . “Snow White in New York”. (Oxford: $18. 95) trans- _ poses the story of Snow White to the New York of the | 1920's, The evil stepmother is queen of the underworld; the prince is a dashing young reporter. The linear and geometric architecture of the time with its soaring skyscrapers and static diamond-cut detail has been bril- liantly captured and paralleled in the long lean lines of the costume of the period. A PICTUKE BOOK . This time, though, Fiona French has produced a pic- ture book which has far more appeal to the adult collec- tor than to the child, The transposition of the story and the illustration is more an adult taste, where her earlier books apealed to both children and their parents. For this reason, striking and effective as the book is, it if not one of her more successful picture books. cS Books for. : young reader Alan Garner combines an economy of style and an ac- curate ear for language which makes his collection of folktales, ‘A Bag of Moonshine” (Collins: $22.95) viv- id and effective. The 22 tales come. from English and Welsh tradition and include haunting stories like the poignant story of Hewin and his beautiful bride from the lake, Belenay; comic tales, like the Wicked Sparrow who was never satisfied until his greed was his downfall; and their are strange tales like the salmon who pulled a Welsh lad into a stream, demanding to be his sweet- eart A COLLECTOR Henry has a hard time at school and a difficult one at - home, His father has left and his mother struggles to hold their home together. His one passion, and consola- tion, is collecting. His bedroom is piled high with junk. It is this passion - which leads him to bring home a leg from a fashion dummy he has found in a shop’s garbage, and it soon leads him into the middle of a real life mystery. Ann Pilling brings Henry, his family, and those with whom he comes in contact realistically alive, The story rings true, it is exciting, it is witty, it is poignant, it is vividly told and it is completely credible. ‘“*Henry’s Leg’ (Puffin; $4.95) was a winner of the British Guardian Award for children’s literature. [BMX | set. B-M-X bike racing clubs in the northwest area are out grooming tracks — for the start of the 1987 season in the next few weeks. Although the first youngster has yet to speed out of the starting block, there’s good news for four boys who petfotmed well last year. Clayton Stephens of Terrace, Jeff Babuin of Prince Rupert and Darren Connolly and Reg McNab of Kitimat have been an- nounced as members of the Canadian team that goes to Orlando, Florida from Aug. 7 to 9 to com- pete in the World ‘B’ Mix- ed Championships. All four accumulated enough points as expert racers to be invited to the team. It should be quite a trip for the youths and their families because they’re only one hour away from Walt Disney World, and three hours away from the Kennedy Space Centre.
