Am I the only one who thought the story was beautifully and artistically written? I admit the photos were a bit cheesy, but we must remember the times were different back when the book was originally written. Photography sure has changed since then, but poetry surely has not.
David Tudor No, you are NOT the only one. This book IS beautifully written.
