Turkeys travel through history in art:
Europe greeted this American bird with awe By Christine Heinrichs, SPPA Publicity Director Presenting the Turkey: The Fabulous Story of a Flamboyant and Flavourful Bird by Sabine Eiche Its 65 illustrations, most in color, make this stroll through history with turkeys a pleasure for the eyes as well as the mind. Ms. Eiche has filled a significant niche with this lovely and amusing book. As she quotes 20th century writer Morton Thompson, "Some topics cannot be done justice unless written with a pen filled with gravy." Gravy flows freely in her elegant prose. This book deserves to occupy the shelf of every serious turkey fancier, as well as those who simply enjoy enriching their knowledge of cultural and poultry history. Available from Michael Shamansky, Bookseller, Inc., P.O. Box 3904, Kingston, NY 12402, 845-331-8519. Price: $39.95, ISBN: 8870384144
