an interesting little story of finding freedom

"Sundancer - A Mystical Fantasy" by Edward Hays, © 1982, 4th printing October 1989 This is an interesting little story of finding freedom. The actors are flowers, and they are given appropriate personalities. The little Sundancer meets a cricket who has traveled the world and brought wisdom of the ages with him. The cricket teaches Sundancer what it takes to be free, and in the joy of life, Sundancer does become free. It is a wonderful little story.

Short and sweet

This is the shortest and sweeings book I've ever read. I recommend it to everyone.

An unexpected therapy

I recieved a copy of this book from my father before he died. As a teenager, likening the story to my life- to his life, to any one's life- helped to ease whatever pain I may have been going through. For the past 6 years I've read the book once every couple of months, and it constantly reminds me that I'm looking to get out of this "flower garden" and be an individual, while at the same time it helps me to remember the joy that I've recieved from people who are no longer with me. I'd highly recommend this book as a gift to someone going through a loss, or someone who is exploring their spirituality or questioning their place in the world. In addition to the wonderful text, the imagery in the book is amazing.

Sundancer, A Mystical Fantasy

A wonderful allegory of a special flower--Sundancer--who wanted to be free of the "status quo" life in the garden. He was willing to take the risks required to live life as a unique flower with meaning, conviction and purpose.This story can be applied to each of our lives... The allegory helps us to view life in a new way if we are willing to be like Sundancer.Very simple story, but very challenging. Recommend highly!
