Description
|
|
|
|
A former U.S. Poet Laureate and the recipient of the National Medal of Arts, as well as the author of the Caldecott Medal Book Ox-Cart Man, poet Donald Hall gives us this subtle portrait of an affectionate yet solitary man. In his New England cabin he lives with his mule and a wild owl friend, with his collections of old newspapers and old nails he's straightened out, and nearby lives his cousin Nan, his best friend in the world. Though written for readers 6 and up, the simple story is really ageless—a touching meditation on self-sufficiency and solitude, on the difference between loneliness and being alone—and is evocatively illustrated with Mary Azarian's woodcuts.
