Synopsis
What if we were all stranded on a desert island? An oasis is like an island, and this is where Herb Dimock stages his portrayal of our economic life. Life may not be as simple as Once Upon A Desert portrays it, but this short story lets us notice things about our society that might help us move things in a more constructive direction. Herb Dimock weaves a story of five personalities living at the oasis. They improve the place and their economy physically, but suffer at each other's hands. How they respond to a major threat against their whole livelihood will show whether their attitudes can also be improved. Among his books heralding a new humanity, this parable is definitely fun. Every page has a cute line-drawing illustration opposite it.
