A Pear Story - what sort of book to write

Tue Jan 22 16:57:35 UTC 2013

Yes, Claudia is right and I definitely don't want to start with a sentence
in English or any other spoken language. I think that Ingvild and Stefan's
suggestion about working with one or two pictures is best. I do still like
the idea of deriving those pictures from the Frog story though, as there is
such a good cannon of translations from that source. Here's a few images
from that book - would something like these work in the way you have in
mind Stefan and Ingvild?
Best,
Erika
