Books for young readers - the pruic’s Tune by Andrea Deakin Terrace Book Reviewer O.R. Melling’s first book, ““The Druid’s Tune’’ (Puffin), was a story in the heroic tradition of two young people from the 10th century who find them- selves back in ancient Ireland, caught in the war bet- ween Maeve of Connaught and Cuculann, champion of Ulster. “‘The Singing Stone’ (Viking Kestrel: $16.95) begins with Kay Warrick, a lonely young woman liv- ing in a modern city who receives a parcel of old Celtic legends and realizes that she is being drawn to Ireland to find the answer to the strange dreams which haunt her. Once there, she too is drawn into the ancient past on a quest to find four ancient lost treasures of power: The Sword, The Spear, The Cauldron and The Stone of Destiny. From the beginning she has a companion, a young helpless girl called Aherne. Once again O.R. Melling has succeed in not only telling an absorbing story with sympathetic attractive protagonists, but also in capturing the spirit of magic and ritual which are part of the ancient Celtic myths. Young people will find it difficult to put down. It is a powerful, richly pattern- tale, Eric Wilson’s main goal has always been to en-. courage reluctant young readers to take the plunge. Therefore he has offered fast-paced adventure stories simply and directly told, stories with recognizable Canadian settings, His latest book, ““The Unmasking of K‘shan’”’ (Collins: $13.95) is one of his most effec- tive so far. Tom and Liz Austin are not involved this time, in- stead there are two interesting young people; Dawn, a gifted young native dancer from Hazelton, and Graham; the son of the local minister, still mourning the loss of his mother. Each of them shows growth and development through the novel, Graham dealing with his fears of heights and his insecurities of pur- pose; Dawn growing to appreciate the gift she has . been given and the heritage she belongs to. The youngsters have real problems to solve and real judgements to make. The story concerns the theft of a priceless antique Indian mask, that of the Raven, from the museum at K‘san, but it also. deals with understanding the culture which has produced the mask and the peoples who keep alive his heritage in northern British Columbia. Young Janet Munsil’s first book, ‘‘Dinner at Aunt _Rosie’s’’ (Annick: $4,95) was a delightful commen- tary on a youngster’s reactions to ‘being good’ dur- ing a family visit. ‘‘Zach at the Zoo”’ (Annick: $4.95) is another attractive nonsense story. Zach goes to the zoo, but when he bends down to tie his shoe his father gets lost. Zach asks directions to the Lost and Found, ‘‘Let’s see,’ said the man, ‘first you go straight, then right, then left, then turn, left, straight, right, leftleftrightrightleftright. And there you are.”’ As you might imagine with these instructions Zach soon finds himself in the middle of Albert Avenue, nowhere near the Lost and Found, and followed by six eager penguins. The nonsense goes cheerfully from bad to worse accompanied by high spirited bright illustrations by Lesley Fairfield. This lighthearted romp is going to be very popular with youngsters, I am sure, Janet Munsil has the touch of a true comic. Lastly, as Christmas draws nearer there are new editions of old favorites. Anatoly Ivanov has taken Robert Browning’s ‘‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin" (Gage: $20.50) and filled it with rich imaginative illustrations. This edition for older children, with its elegant calligraphy, jewel-bright pictures and im- aginative touches, makes an elegant version of an old classic, Terrace Review — Wednesday, November 5, 1986 23 a Terrace realdent, Batty Cambell, zone chairman for the B.C.
