Beth Gleick’s clean turn of phrase cleverly explains the passing of seconds, minutes, hours, on up through seasons

and years. First published in 1960, this book is lovingly re-illustrated by collage-artist Marthe Jocelyn, who pays homage to the original art while simultaneously creating a world of her own, cutting patterned papers and printed fabrics with whimsy, ingenuity, and precision of, yes, time. . . .
