It's certainly very original, and _definitely_ reminiscent of his musical work, but still appropriate for children. I don't know that I think it's award-worthy, I just thought it was a good read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-34198479492607204822011-06-06T13:13:31.346-04:002011-06-06T13:13:31.346-04:00I had (actually still have) a moonlight and nightg...I had (actually still have) a moonlight and nightgown edition of Wilkie Collins' THE MOONSTONE.<br />The Decemberists are one of my favorite current bands, mainly because of their lyrics, which are highly narrative.

In the US it was entitled <i>The Edge of Day</i> and that's the way I knew it until I found out differently.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.com
