10 Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 4, 1986 As part of the ongoing “Clean up Terrace” project, the municipality has hired three workers from the self halp centre, Peter, Willy and Allen willbe seen around town helping to keep the Books for Letter young readers When African slaves were brought to North America, they were torn from their homelands and their cultures and set down in a new, strange environ- ment. , “ by Andrea Deakin Terrace Reviewer The only thing that they could bring with them were the myths and folk tales of their peoples, and these they held closely and elaborated on. Amongst these were tales where animals took on the characteristics of people around them — characters like Brer Rabbit, small and helpless, yet intelligent and tricky, able to use his wits to deal with those who were more powerful than he. Virginia Hamilton has put together an outstanding collection of 24 American Folk Tales, ‘The People Could Fly” (Virginia Hamilton: Random House of Canada: $18.75). This collection contains animal stories, tales of the supernatural, and cautionary tales, all movingly and skilfully told, The beautifully designed and presented collection has been illustrated with some fine work by Caldecott-winning artists, Leo and Diane Dillon. Amongst the most loved fables for young children. written this century are those of Leo Lionni. In his introduction to ‘‘Frederick’s Fables’’ (Ran- dom House: $24.50) Bruno Bettleheim quotes Lion- ni, “It is in the picture book that the child will have his first encounter with structured fantasy,’’ which he will ‘animate by his own feelings and imagery’’. In each of his tales Lionni uses both word and picture to convey an underlying message to the child. “Swimmy is a story of courage and inventiveness which suggests to the child that the forces of evil can be coped with by using imagination. “The Alphabet Tree’’ is a significant story for adults as well as their children. Literacy lies not in the mechanical letters of the alphabet, letters only mean something when they form words; and we are only literate when we can form words to express our deepest commitments, or can read and understand the commitments of others. Geraldine discovers the pleasures of music and finds that it is not enough to fill the body. To live ful- ly one must fill the soul also. These truths are so simply yet effectively presented that the adult wonders at the powerful simplicity, while the child enjoys and grows. Thirteen of Lionni’s picture books are put together in this one volume, accompanied by an introduction by Bruno Bettleheim. ‘Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady’’ is perhaps one of the most popular of Arthurian tales. For many years my favorite edition for children was the one illustrated by Joanna Troughton. I must admit, however, to being charmed by a new edition retold by Selina Hastings and illustrated by Juan Wijngaard (Walker Books/ Methuen: $12.95) The story is simp- ly yet vividly told and the illustrations, each page elaborately bordered, glows with rich color. This tale of fidelity, compassion and courage never fails to grasp children’s imaginations, and this effec- tive rendition certainly will.
