(2) PS "On Wednesday, Thelma was bored," begins this imagination-rich story, "so...she decided to become a queen." Thelma's personality and the narrative's emotional arc are conveyed by surrealist-style paintings showing a pale and restrained heroine clad in Victorian children's clothing. The story ends where it began, with Thelma struck by an idea. What to make of Thelma? Swiatkowska leaves the reader lots of room.
