"Bread and Swans" follows the life of Pfirsich Rommel, leading man of the long-running drawn-book series "The Desert Peach." From their first childhood spats Pfirsich acts as the conscience and alter-ego of his famous historical brother, the Desert Fox, blending plain fact with pure imagination. We need bread, but there should be swans. Never forgetting that bread nourishes - and our swans can drown us.***"This is a fun and fascinating fiction that puts the 'story' in history, and makes 'history' all too recognizable for today's reader. Donna has a gift of exploring why people do the things they do... and why they are doomed to repeat history." -- Roberta Gregory, "Naughty Bits."
