The Boy Who Became an Eagle

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nick Maland. After discovering that he can fly, a peasant boy leaves his family's cottage, only to crash in a blizzard. He is rescued by a showman, who costumes the boy in elaborate wings and adds him to his troupe as the Eagle. When the appeal of show business yields to a longing for home, the Eagle sets himself free by trickery. There are some gaps in the narrative; however, the delicately colored crosshatched illustrations enhance this home-is-best tale.
