Associations of this kind and the deliberate pairing of images are central elements in this book.

Monika Merva
The City of Children "Having visited the City of Children many times over the years, I have become increasingly impressed by its quiet, and often hidden, power and beauty. The community has its distinguishing characteristics, but if you dig deeper, you will find that there exists an extraordinarily direct – one might even say mysterious – connection between these surface traits and the universal truths that lie just beneath, truths about the human nature and condition we all share. ...."
