Carrimebac, the Town That Walked

David Barclay Moore, illustrated by John Holyfield

David Barclay Moore’s original tale intertwines historical material with wry folk wisdom, combining those elements within one narrative. Its use of metaphorical power gives figurative expression an explicitly noted role in the tale’s approach to storytelling. Alongside those elements, a splash of magic adds a fantastical strand to the tale and brings history, folk wisdom, and metaphor into the same narrative.
