Waldorf schoolteacher Philip Thatcher of North Vancouver has fashioned Raven's Eye ($24), a 'quest story' about a B.C. youth, born in 1969, who journeys to the coasts of Wales and Ireland to fully appreciate the meaning of his true name, Gwawinastoo, or Raven's Eye. The first of a planned trilogy, it is steeped in Native mythology partially divined from the author's visits to Kingcome Inlet and his associations with Heiltsuk ceremonies. 0-9686687-0-4
