Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Harry Brockway (illustrator). Crumley watches, year in and year out, as a pair of mute swans struggle, against the odds, to raise young on a wild patch of loch. The pen starts to lose her eggs to predators and the cob begins to disappear for longer and longer periods. Then comes the day when a third swan, younger and stronger than the first pen, appears at the other end of the loch. This beautiful record is Jim Crumley s homage to these noble creatures but it is also an elegy, a love song to one swan whose silent tragedy he watched from one season to the next. Through his words he has ensured that there will be a more lasting monument to the life of this swan than a small pyre of white feathers. Illustrated by Harry Brockway s striking wood engravings, Jim Crumley s book is a poignant work of observation and celebration. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001911923
