Description
The Seasons of Life, Volume 3
Grisailles
This is the final of three volumes in an exclusive edition published by Piconrue – Musée de la Grande Ardenne. With a print run of 500 copies, each volume comes with a signed and numbered offprint by Jean-Claude Servais.
The author, Gérard Dewamme, and the illustrator, Jean-Claude Servais, drew inspiration from customs practised in Wallonia before the First World War to bring the characters of Toinette and Bastien to life – who have now reached a ripe old age!
In the winter of 1938, Bastien Colleaux feels old, very old, and, to be honest, good for nothing. He has become grumpy and morose, racked with aches and pains that confine him to his armchair, the warmth of the hearth and a strict diet. Sitting alone by the fireside, he dwells on his memories and is irritated by the noise Toinette is making in the kitchen…
Toinette crosses herself. A horse that stops for no reason in front of the house and the owl she dreamt of are unmistakable signs: soon, the spirit will demand its tribute from the Colleaux family.
