The Meadow Was Enough
$4.99
Gideon Marsh solves practical Meadow problems until committees, campaigns, and factions begin forming around the solutions. With perceptive Tess beside him, the frog becomes a reluctant politician. A warm satire about community and the surprising ease with which good intentions acquire procedures.
Description
A suspiciously fast snail needs investigating. Desirable lily pads need allocating. A midnight croak seems to need a rule. Gideon Marsh keeps asking what problem everyone is trying to solve, and the Meadow keeps finding reasons to put him in charge.
Beside him, Tess notices needs that procedures can miss. As informal solutions turn into institutions, neighbors discover representation, campaigns, and disagreements about authority. Gideon’s usefulness begins to carry ambitions he did not originally bring to the work.
The Meadow Was Enough is a warm political satire about the beginnings of government in a community that mostly wants to get along. Its animal ensemble makes room for good intentions and the complications that follow when those intentions acquire an official process.
