Will the ring, inscribed with “love never dies”, ever fulfil its destiny, and find the finger of a woman truly loved?

Reviews
An interesting tale full of splendid illustrations.
Wonderous Words
This book lovingly shows the passing of time and the enduring power of the little ring, lost and now found, a circle of love for a new generation.
Read Plus
This book is sublimely illustrated with the same depth, perspection and movement that Graham pens in his poetically contemplative language. He entices wonder about the everlasting and symbolic properties of physical and abstract things.
Reading Time
I adore that even if you cannot see the ring you can still see it shining as a beacon of hope and love.
