Southey and Alsop's Fable
A new tale by writer and Globe columnist Tabatha Southey is called It Must Be Tall as a Lighthouse and has illustrations by architect Will Alsop—but it's not about bricks and glass.
It is about, and to, her son. It is a valentine. “For Basil,” goes the inscription, “I never bought you an iguana. And for Alice.” Southey's kiddies should be proud. Her words are lilting and capricious, then heart-catching; Alsop's drawings, inky and naive.
Your inner-child will say “read it again” and “please.” —SNP
