About

91´«Ã½

A boy wakes in the darkness, bundles his newspapers, and accompanied by his faithful dog, delivers the daily papers to the still, dark houses before returning home to his warm bed.

"The movement from dark to dawn is reflected in the play of shadow and light in the subtly evolving imagery of this simple story. Carefully balanced compositions and a remarkably restrained but rich palette give this title tremendous visual appeal, from moonlight to daylight, from beginning to end."
