Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text



jimlynchIf Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

SerenaConcertina, May 18, 2009 (view all comments by SerenaConcertina)
I first discovered this book at my local library.
My daughter & I were seeking folk tales from Norway, as we both have an admiration for such.
We couldn't have been more pleased by the contents & gained hours of enjoyment together reading them aloud & putting them to memory. My 7 year old daughter's favorite stories were of The Ash Lad. My personal favorite was The Tabby Who Was Such A Glutton, which had me so amused I found it hard not to laugh, as we own a very gluttonous tabby cat.
I would recommend this book to both young & old.
