Das Stundenbuch des Jacominus Gainsborough

A book of hours, what might that be? Well, a whole life ... That of Jacominus Gainsborough. The leaves in the park, the rain, the low tide. A tumble, a farewell at the harbor, a reunion in a garden full of stones. A picnic, a few races, and a new shade under the almond tree. All that. A life. Jacominus Gainsborough has dreamed himself on the moon, boarded a tall ship, fallen in love, buried his grandmother, and frolicked with his grandchildren. It's an ordinary life - and a fulfilling one. In her beautifully illustrated book, Rébecca Dautremer tells of the adventures, adversities and moments of happiness that make our existence precious. And she gently opens up the important questions of life to her readers, both young and old.
