Riassunto

A poetic interpretation of the summer evenings of childhood

Lovely the lateness
in summertime darkening.
Dinner is over.
The grownups are talking.

Seizing their moment, the children steal away from the dinner
table to play out of doors, until it's too dark to see the ball and
their mothers call them home.

Finely wrought oil paintings, beguiling and dreamlike in their
detail, give a free-spirited interpretation of the poem. Together,
words and pictures evoke the lush scents, sounds, and feel of
the full lingering days of summer, when outside and inside is
lost in the doorways.
