Hall, Brian P.; Smith, Patrick Madeleine's World: A Child's Journey from Birth to Age Three
Houghton Mifflin 1997 0395870593 / 9780395870594 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover:$20.00 - 262 pages - What might it feel like to be six months old? To have only recently discovered that your hands be your own and that not all round things are breasts? Or to celebrate your first birthday when you don't understand "first" and "birth" yet, and aren't sure about "day"? Or to wonder what the moon is, and whether it's farther away than airplanes or the flies on the ceiling? That you are a person with a history. This book is a biography of Brian Hall's daughter, Madeleine. Like traditional biographies, it begins with its subject's birth. Unlike them, it ends on her third birthday. Along the way, it describes the transition from infant solipsism to toddler self-absorption to a small person's sociability. It records achievements more monumental and disillusionments more devastating than the run of adult biographies. It is a map of an expanding world in which dragons still roam but terra incognita is pushed inexorably back.
