Between Heaven and Earth: Bird Tales from around the World

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Leo Dillon & Diane Dillon. Norman has collected five bird tales from five living storytellers, but contrary to good modern folklore practice, he has apparently retold all the stories himself. The illustrations lack a range of feeling but are boldly designed and patterned and strive for compositional and stylistic variety. Whatever the book's shortcomings, the content of the stories--a varied and interesting bunch--is absorbing.
