How Much Land Does a Man Need?

32 pp. | Crocodile | November, 2001 | Trade ISBN 1-56656-407-7 $$15.95
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Elena Abesinova. An acquisitive peasant named Pakhom is never satisfied with what he has and travels to a country where he is told, "You may have all the land you can walk around in one day." So strenuous are his exertions, however, that Pakhom collapses and dies from exhaustion just as the day is ending. Intricately patterned and precisely detailed art full of icongraphic Russian images and rich color suit this cautionary tale.
