(2) K-3 In 1940 France, four young men discovered an extensive cave with six hundred prehistoric paintings. McCully's own handsome paintings vary from crisply defined characters and events above ground to dark, impressionistic scenes within the cave. An appended note cites the "varying versions" of events that McCully drew on for her "fictional re-creation." An excellent introduction to this extraordinary site. Bib.
