Picked this up at a rummage sale today on the strength of the cover illustration. I'm so glad I did. The story is spare, not quite tipping over into melancholy, but certainly dreamy and sad and lonely. The illustrations are flat gorgeous, they have a turn-of-the last century feel to them. The dual protagonists are both only children with rich interior lives. The ending made my eyes leak a little.
