Frog and the Birdsong
Max Velthuijs gives us a book that's perfect in its own right. Another in the tradition of Granpa - clear, unsentimental, dealing with fear and the angst of living when confronted with death, but leaving us aware of the wonder and sheer beauty of life with its inescapable transience softened by the knowledge of continuity. A thoughtful and 'special' book to keep and treasure.
