The Running Figure and the High Castle
A long-haired figure runs beside a winding path towards a high city of narrow towers. Fine ornamental lines and a curved frame make the castle appear almost woven into the surrounding landscape. The frontispiece introduces the enchanted setting of Padraic Colum’s adventure.
