Alas and Alack and What Was That?

There's something causing a stir among the locals. Is it an innocent and misunderstood force or a bad actor up to no good? Look for clues to discover what or WHO it is and what it's up to.

The reader finds themself in a mystery alongside a little girl. Clues on each page lead them (the girl and the reader) to a final discovery of a mischievous crow. In their meeting they come to know that fickle, fun and imaginative forces of the wind that are alive and well in both of them is an irresistible and natural part of being who and what they are.

Delivered as bouncy, tangled and twisted refrains as if by a jester at play bearing a worried brow there is nothing of woe as Alas and Alack of middle English may seem at first to suggest. If the reader of this book is confused about whether the tumult of others brought on by the character frolicking just outside the illustrations' frames is woe or no, then questions about mischiefs ironies are begun in the young reader.
