About this ebook
To lure pretty Epily, little chick Abelard sees only one solution: to catch the moon for her. So off he goes to America, the country that invented flying machines. Armed with his banjo and his proverb-sharing hat, he launches out on the country roads, where he meets Gaston, a grumpy bear with whom he shares his plan. As opposed to dreamer Abelard, Gaston has his feet firmly planted on the ground. This humorous comic, where the absurd becomes poetry, explores philosophical ideas through a simple, fanciful story.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a philosophical tale and like "Betty Blues", though anthropomorphic, NOT for children. Abilard has never left his marsh in his entire life but he becomes smitten with a visiting tourist and the ever optimist Abilard leaves to acquire a bouquet of stars in hopes of capturing her attention. With his banjo in hand he sets out and meets up with a pessimistic bear. The unlikely duo become reluctant (on the bear's part) traveling companions and what follows is a bittersweet journey of opposites; naivete vs worldliness, faith vs denial and what happens when reality hits both types of personalities. Finally it is a sad, but touching story of life and death, and life after death both for the dead and the living. Touching and bittersweet. Lovely, emotional art! I must now read Dillies first book translated into English. His work is brilliant.
