In the Night
What the Chickadee Could See
Winter, a rented raven, and the routes under the snow
William Vincent Carleton
Nell the bear sleeps through winter, keeping her promise to be with the meadow without waking. Above the cave, Dee the chickadee sees gold threads on the snow, leading to caches and a thicket with two exits, and calls it October, still working. Continuing the story of the vote, this In the Night book is about faithfulness, memory and the routes under the snow.
