Sajo and the Beaver People

Summary: sajo +the beaver people Life enhancing
Review: I read this as a small boy in a Northern English town and was transported to the Canadian wilds in a tale that was full of grace, nature, wonder and truth. The writing has a timeless eloquence that draws you in to a simple but endearing tale that stays with you for ever. There must be a gap of twenty years since I was last able to read such a book. I would rate it as the the next best to 'Capt. Corelli,etc.' ....which I am glad to say I came across by chance. The flight of Sajo across the land and the city is poetic in its simplicicity and its excitement as I have read anywhere-else.
'nuff said.

Summary: A book never to be forgotten
Review: This book tells the story of the friendship - against all odds - between two Native children and two young beavers for whom they care. The story contains all the elements a good book for children should have: excitement, adventure and above all - a deep love for nature and its wild creatures. I was given this book as a girl of 8 (in German!) and read it over and over again. In 50 years I have never forgotten its title or the name of the author, it stands out as one of my all-time favourites. I am now delighted to find that the book is still around and I can give it to my grandchildren!

Summary: Brilliant story of relationships between animals & humans
Review: This is one of my favorite works of natural history and children's literature that explores the relationship between animals, humans, and the natural world. It is a classic. The reader is transported into the minds of of all the characters as "Sajo" explores life from the point of view of a beaver family, as well as from a the humans that intrude on their world. A story of compassion, adventure, courage, and loyalty, "Sajo" reminds us that we share this world with our human relatives. For readers of all ages. It is brilliant.
