Synopsis

Bob Robber only came out at night and the night had got into him. He could stand so still that spiders didn't notice him and spun webs around him, but he envied Dancing Jane's light feet and happy dancing. Bob Robber cannot dance and so he tries to steal her shadow.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The poetic text and magical illustrations offer an older, picture book audience an interesting allegory of how simple goodness overcomes the darkness that can exist in us all.

Bob Robber lived alone and only came out at night. His hair was black as bats and his eyes the colour of the new moon. One summer night he saw Dancing Jane -- “Her feet were light, her eyes were brown and her dress was white as winter snow.” This is the story of how Bob Robber steals Dancing Jane’s shadow and then, full of remorse decides to return it and, for the first time in his life, asks for something instead of stealing it -- he asks Jane if she will teach him to dance.

Quatrième de couverture

Bob Robber is a thief who creeps and steals in the dark of night. When he sees Dancing Jane pass by, singing and dancing on her shadow, he envies her carefree happiness and steals her shadow away. But the sadness that this causes Dancing Jane changes something in Bob Robber forever.
