Illustrated by
Jim Sollers.
In this original fable, the mountains and the sea of Maine engage in a geographic beauty contest when an eagle tells each of the other's boasts. Predictably, it is not until the wrath of the mountains and the fury of the sea are unleashed that a peaceful landscape can exist. Sollers's paintings make the geographic features believable characters.
