POBBY AND DINGAN, by Ben Rice

(originally posted on October 24, 2006)

Sometimes it is the greatest pleasure to discover a book years after everyone else does. Because this way I can proselytize to a new crowd who, like me, may not have heard of such a wonderful gem. In just 93 pages, Rice manages to create a whole world of innocence, imagination and heartbreak that is impossible to forget once complete. Buy a copy and feel your heart touched in the most genuine, wonderful way.
