The Backyard

John Collier

Synopsis:
In the backyard is a wide lawn, where birds sing, and dogs run. But what happened here fifty years ago--or a hundred, or a million? Perhaps carpenters built a house, cowboys rode, and dinosaurs roamed. Lush, dreamlike paintings and a lyrical text unearth the history of a special piece of land, and show us the extraordinary layers of an ordinary place.
