Sea Tale is Richard Lewis's mythic retelling of how children first found the purpose of their playing. Evocatively and subtly illustrated by Gigi Alvare,Sea Tale takes place in a prehistoric world in which dreams and reality interwine, a seascape of nature's timeless unfoldings in which children discover how their desire to play - is also their desire to survive.Sea Tale is a parable for anyone who seeks the meaning of our humaness and its roots in childhood.
In this unique collection, Richard Lewis has gathered some of the poignant and insightful ways children have viewed not only the many pleasures of their own playing, but the very life of play as it takes place within the natural world and the universe at large. Selected from the results of an Arts and Education project of the Touchstone Center, these vibrant, poetic writings and artwork reinforce, once again, the necessity of play as a cornerstone of childhood - and the gift of every child to use their playing to shape their world - with imaginative artistry, freshness and exhilaration.
