Sinopse

Paul Klee spoke of, ?taking a line for a walk? when drawing. In my case it is the drawings that have led whilst I followed to see where they were going, and so one drawing suggested, and led to, another until a story, and for me meaning, emerged. The ?poems? were written independently of the drawings when I was a long way from home, wherever that is. The drawings are made primarily in ink and in my other life I?m an Applied artist working in metal, most often as a silversmith, but at one time or another a jeweller and also in foundries.The title came from reading about Steinbeck?s search for a title for, ?of mice and men?, which in turn came from Robert Burns?, ?Wee timorous beasties.? Another rejected title of his was, ?Something happened,? and these, and the story, struck a chord with me when reading it whilst putting the drawings together for the book.
