• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Once, in a time and place far distant from our town, there lived a young girl named Alma in a small town called Boville, where It rained constantly, and thick mists floated down the streets and around the chimneys. Alma is fascinated by the towering mountain which surrounds Boville, keeping the sun away the rain forever falling. To Alma, the mountain appears mysterious, and she observes it carefully, whenever the fog parted.

Alma and her faithful cat Oyster frequently visit their friend Zephira, an ancient, mysterious old woman who tells wonderful stories and legends. One day, however, Zephira speaks some new words: "Things were not always as they are today..." and tells Alma of a time when Boville was very different: sunny and, warm with flowers in all the windows and tall green trees around the village square.

In answer to Alma's wondering why Boville had become so damp and dreary, and will, Zephira only suggests that Alma ask the mountain itself, and will say no more. Alma and Oyster take up the challenge and embark on a secret and dangerous quest, with suprising results.

Autorenporträt

Judith Mitchell was born in New York City into a family of professors whose apartment walls were lined with BOOKS! Her parents frequently read fairytales, myths, and classic children's books aloud to their children - there was fortunately no TV! Although she now does have a TV, she remains devoted first to books and is an avid reader, about myriad topics. She has a BFA from Chatham Univeristy in Pittsburgh and did graduate work in archaeology and art history at Columbia University (New York City). Her professional art career began in illustration ~~ fantasy, myth, and science fiction ~~ for which she has won prizes. She has also illustrated numerous children's books and written several stories of her own; this is her second book in publication. She has done freelance illustration for many of the major publishing houses. At this point Judith is involved in her own art projects, including painting, writing, ceramics, mask-making, unusual beading, gardening, and always exploring new venues and mediums. She is also a shamanic practitioner. Judith currently lives close to the ocean in Maine, with her husband Rick, and two rescued cats and one rescued dog. She is an environmental activist and a trained facilitator for the Pachamama Organization.
