Q: When is a book not just a book?
A: When it's a folio of hand-pulled original lithographs.

"...Saunders' work is pure familiarity, romance, and pathos. He describes a simpler time and place with the skill of a truly great storyteller. He...weaves an extensive system of symbols, archetypes, and illusions. By means of this network the simple is made complex and the complex made clear-images are manipulated, combined and layered to reveal the reality of a place, inhabited and enriched by memory."
--Richard Fisher - in "A Sense of Place"

"...A considerable portion of Saunders work also addresses the land and a sense of place. It is done with a combination of objectivity and myth which is a Southern viewpoint and maybe a birthright."
--Thomas Dewey III- in "Comparisons and Contrasts, 1981-1982"


"You folks can buy critters if you want to. But me, I'd just as soon buy a tiger or a rattlesnake."

"The other did not move, sitting on the top step, not quite facing them, sitting there beneath the successive layers of their quiet and intent concentrated listening and waiting."

"Them ponies is gentle as a dove, boys. The man that buys them will get the best piece of horseflesh he ever forked or druv for the money."

"...there were more than fifty men now standing along beside the gate, watching him quietly, a little covertly, as he approached."

"'I bought a horse and I paid cash for it,' he said. His voice was harsh and spent too, the mad look in his eyes had a quality glazed now and even sightliess."

" It galloped to the end of the veranda and took the railing and soared outward, hobgoblin and floating, in the moon."

they came to witness the trial

"...with an expression of grim and seething outrage [which was not directed at] any other man in particular but at all men, all males, and which Tull himself was not at all the victim, but the subject, who sat on one side of her husband while the biggest of the four daughters sat on the other as if they were not so much convinced that Tull might leap up and flee..."

"Your damages are fixed by statute...now that horse that made your team run away and snatch your husband out of the wagon, belongs to you and Mr. Tull."
