商品簡介
A tale both ancient and timely — and a moving story of compassion in the face of personal loss and trials — The Banyan Deer is a parable that highlights courage, triumph, and the meaning of true wisdom. Beautifully illustrated and elegantly told, this emotional tale resonates with all readers, no matter the age. Illustrated sumptuously by Richard Wehrman’s images that are reminiscent of the work of Eric Gill and Rockwell Kent, this book makes an ideal gift. A wonderful keepsake for anyone facing transitions or rites of passage, this is a story for recent graduates, environmentalists, animal lovers, and anyone who wants a meaningful fable in a lovely package.
