Soonchild - Softcover

A simpler, sparer cold-climate tale of the shaman Sixteen-Face John and his Big-Dream Trip "putting himself where the animals in him could reach him". This will send you outside to look at the stars and wish for snow, then back indoors to draw the curtains against the Long White Alone. * Observer * Every adolescent should have a copy of this one. Trust me, nobody will be writing stories quite like this any more. -- Tony Bradman * The Guardian * This magical tale from a master storyteller is highly readable and full of imagination...The stunning illustrations by Alexis Deacon are as important to the telling of the story as the text, and this book will truly delight both children and adult alike. * We Love This Book *
