Description
This book is a biography of Brian Hall's daughter, Madeleine. It begins with her birth and ends on her 3rd birthday. Along the way, it describes the transition from infant solipsism to toddler self-absorption to a small person's sociability. It records monumental achievements and devastating disillusionments. The biography is a map of an expanding world in which dragons still roam but terra incognito is pushed inexorably back. Although this is the record of an individual life, anyone interested in children will find themselves swept up in this fundamental and universal voyage, as Hall charts the rising arc of a new consciousness.
