Abstract
-
en_US
Found after several years of looking. The poetry and story are both excellent. John's sister fell in love with Dan, and they married. John waited and fasted, never sure he had enough; he starved himself through the winter and set out in spring to hoard more. Somehow Dan and his wife hid from the ice and snow. Now they return--with music's return in spring--to surprise John. Gekiere's art is uneven: sometimes excellent, sometimes frustratingly suggestive and no more. There are four morals in italics on the last two pages. The first two copies named above, both in excellent condition, will stay in the collection.
