A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Charles was born in Philadelphia, PA, but moved to NYC when he was very young. He studied monkeys in college, majoring in, among other things, anthropology at Brooklyn College and the University of Wisconsin. Eventually he went to seminary to become a pastor. Today Charles lives in southern Maryland. He loves music (especially Bruce Cockburn), Colorado, the Green Bay Packers, the New York Yankees, and rescued greyhounds. Monkeys don't make good pets. He may be reached at www.charlesmlong.com.

Artist/Illustrator Christina Allen has been a professional artist for about 35 years. She lives on a Southern Maryland farm with her husband, cat, rare Jersey Buff turkeys, and heritage chickens. They raise much of their own food. The rural life and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay find their way into many of her paintings. Christina's original paintings and limited edition prints, including original art from the book, are for sale at her Corn Crib Studio, where you can usually find her working.
