Winners - "The Sun Singer" fourth birthday give-away
FIRST PLACE - Mary in Tennessee.
SECOND PLACE - Chelle in New York
THIRD PLACE - Phyllis in California
Thanks to all who entered and helped me celebrate the 4th Birthday of "The Sun Singer" on June 24, 2008.
The book's sun singer imagery stems from a childhood visit to Robert Allerton Park in Montincello, Illinois, with my grandparents where I saw the primitive man, fu dog, last centaur and sun singer statuary on a sunny afternoon and stormy evening as described in the book.
Created in bronze by sculptor Carle Milles in 1931, the Sun Singer stands alone facing east in a 140-acre meadow in the park. The statue has recently been fully restored to its original glory.
