Testimonial: "Ever now and then my trip to the mailbox is rewarded with a great treasure. Yesterday was one of those times. I knew your book would be a wonderful collection of your stories, but I wasn’t prepared for what lay before me when I opened the package. ...the cover alone (my favourite bird!) defines the quality of what’s to come. I love the way you’ve presented your essays – a story on each page. And your photographs are stunningly beautiful. |
