Almond, David. (1999). Skellig. Delacorte Press.
In terms of page length, Skellig is short; and it is also easy to read. Yet, nothing else is simple about this book.
In seeking to understand who or what Skellig is, one might begin by comparing Almond to another great British author, 19th century William Blake, whose work is often referenced in this book.
Skellig can be read lightly and enjoyed; yet, it can be considered much more deeply--from a philosophical level. It is up to the reader to decide what this book really means.
Dig deeply; and dig out the treasure. Who is Skellig? Or What?
