The Loon's Necklace di William Toye

A bit underwhelmed by this story which feels dated. It's a folk story about the loon, but it's a tad dull and the pictures which might have been fine at the time of publication are not all that great. I thought the parts about the "hag" were quite strange.

The Loon's necklace di William Toye

According to Tsimshian legend, when an old man's sight was restored by Loon, he gave the bird his precious shell necklace as a reward. That is why the loon has a white collar and speckles on its back.
This Canadian Indian tale is retold by William Toye, with beautiful collage illustrations by Elizabeth Cleaver. The book won several awards for illustration in 1977.
