![]() ![]() Whilst adult-readers will marvel at the delicacy and detail of the dandelions blowing through the story, and poppy-red robes in the Ancient Oriental village setting, younger readers will experience a first glimpse of the darkness, drama and beauty of the act of loving-and-never-letting-go. Everything changes when the two men are sent to war. In an act of grace, Cyrano puts his own sadness aside and helps Christian to woo Roxanne. He is in love with his cousin, the willowy Roxanne, but she is in love with Christian, who cannot speak. Cyrano is a big-hearted young man with a big nose which he is doing his best to live with. Tai-Marc Le Thanh’s story of unrequited love, loss and self-expression is set off by Rebecca Dautremer’s delicate and dramatic illustrations. ![]()
