Jacob Pout is a doll-maker in the days before trains cut through the dells and nooks, disturbing the fairy world around us. Jacob has spent his career seeing only the surface of things -which of course he needed to do in order to paint the most engaging faces on all the wooden dolls which of course he successfully made and sold throughout old London.
Focusing on the surface works for some things, but overuse -or misuse of any skill -can interfere with our perception of ourselves, others, and the world around us! And now Jacob suffers great envy and jealousy from under-development of some other very important skill...LOOKING FURTHER, SEARCHING BEYOND, AND UNDERNEATH, AND BACK LONG AGO TO THE TRUE ORIGINS OF PEOPLE, IDEAS, AND THINGS.
We will visit Jacob later (and his dilemma thinking -which makes him truly miserable until he learns a series of lessons). For now, call your local library, to find a copy of this enlightening fairy tale.
