The book "Windmill Tales" is unique, at least in its format. On one page is the picture of a windmill and the other is a tale which includes something about a windmill. Example: A man going out for the afternoon was afraid that he would not know how to get back home after dark so he counted the windmills between home and where he was going. As it came time to go home, it was too dark to see anything, even the windmills. So he guessed at the number of windmills he had passed. When he knocked on the door to ask directions home, his wife answered the door.
One wonderful story after the other. One beautiful picture of a windmill after the other. A brilliant composition.
