Summary: A jewel of a book
Comment: Every now and then you come across a little treasure, and that is exactly what this book is. Full of wonderful thoughts and delightful illustrations that just make you happy to be alive and in this world full of wonder. Yes, I am rhapsodizing, but it is seldom one finds something so charming and refreshing. It will do your soul good!

Summary: Her illustrations capture what it is to be human.
Comment: Thoughts from history's great poets and thinkers - arranged around the hours of the day - symbolize the stages of our lives. Whimsical, fearful, loving, and foolish, the Medieval people populating Denman's world are lovable because they are us. Great detail and imagination in her soft, perfect portraits. My thanks to illustrator Cherry Denman, from Edie De Avila
