In his masterpiece "Horatio in the Wind," J.D. Oldenburg confronts incredibly human sensations of love, attachment, courage and fear. Life, death and the wind. A story for all ages. The kind that can be told forever and still the meaning lives on... The writing and illustrations of this book embody the sort of eloquence and ease you might expect from a story that weaves itself and the soundtrack transports you into a different world. With a potent mix of innocence and darkness, Oldenburg demonstrates the kind of storytelling which inspires to dig deep into ones soul.
