“Who'll carry the coffin?
Me, says the sunset, the whole world will weep
To see me lower it into the deep.
I'll carry the coffin.”

Book jacket with a green background. The author's name is in black. The title is in white letters An Illustration shows a lively collage-like representation of fire. Inside each tongue of this "flame" are fragments of three different elements; part of a medieval painting of the praying Virgin Mary, dressed in blue, an abstract red and black spiraling design, and two photo images of the Scottish island of Iona. Outside the flames, two bees are shown flying - one beneath and one above the central image.

"A dazzling fresh take on early medieval life, as funny as it's moving, The Book of I is a wild trip." - Emma Donoghue, author of "Room"

Ruler in snow up to the 9 inch mark.
