[ 책 소개 ]
마을 앞, 구불구불한 길 너머에 선인장과 돌, 그리고 버려진 나무박스가 널려 있는 조그만 바위 언덕이 있습니다. 마을 아이들은 그 곳을 "록사보젠"으로 불렀지요. 마을 아이들은 이 언덕에 올라가 자신들만의 세계를 만듭니다. 언덕 위에 올라가 땅을 파면 발견할 수 있는 예쁘고 동글동글한 검은 돌들은 이들에게는 보석이지요. 그리고 흰 돌을 두줄로 넓게 깔아 놓으면 도로가 되고, 네모로 구획을 만들면 각각의 집이 됩니다. 그 곳에서 아이들은 빵이나 아이스크림 가게를 열기도 하고, 시장을 뽑는가 하면, 규칙을 어기는 아이를 가두는 감옥도 만듭니다. 때로는 남자 아이들과 여자 아이들이 편을 갈라 전쟁놀이를 하기도 하며, 공동묘지도 만들었지만, 이 곳에 묻힌 유일한 친구는 도마뱀 뿐이었습니다...
아리조나주 유마시의 조그만 언덕 위에서 있었던 즐거웠던 어린 시절의 추억을 Alice McLerran이 서정적인 글로 표현하고 Caldecott 수상작가인 Barbara Cooney가 아름다운 파스테풍 그림으로 보여줍니다.

Book Description
Marian called it Roxaboxen. (She always knew the name of everything.) There across the road, it looked like any rocky hill — nothing but sand and rocks, some old wooden boxes, cactus and greasewood and thorny ocotillo — but it was a special place: a sparkling world of jeweled homes, streets edged with the whitest stones, and two ice cream shops. Come with us there, where all you need to gallop fast and free is a long stick and a soaring imagination.
In glowing desert hues, artist Barbara Cooney has caught the magic of Alice McLerran's treasured land of Roxaboxen — a place that really was, and, once you've been there, always is.
Publishers Weekly
Roxaboxen celebrates the imagination of children who, no matter the time or place, can create whole worlds out of what they find around them--here, rocks and boxes, cacti and sand. Marian and her friends find a ``special place'' in the desert where in time-honored fashion, they play the games that will prepare them for their grown-up lives. They make houses, drive pretend cars, bake bread, ride stick ponies, fight their wars and bury their dead. Drawn from her mother's reminiscences, McLerran's gentle text is both particular and universal, as she fondly tells this evocative story--``Of course, if you broke the speed limit you had to go to jail. The jail had cactus on the floor to make it uncomfortable, and Jamie was the policeman.'' With its gently rolling terrain, blossoming ocotillos and cacti, and vast skies of ever-changing hues, Cooney's ( Hattie and the Wild Waves ; Island Boy ) desert is a wondrous and beauteous place. The doll-like children in their knickers and sailor dresses emphasize the timelessness of this place where ``seasons changed, and the years went by but Roxaboxen was always there.''
School Library Journal
This treasure of a story is about magic--the ordinary magic that every child understands: imagination. It is also a story about a treasured place: a child's imaginary town named Roxaboxen. The rules are simple: you make them up as you go along according to the whim of the day or the personality of the residents. In Roxaboxen, ``Marian was mayor, of course; that was just the way she was. Nobody minded.'' The rules don't even have to be consistent--as long as they make sense. Speeding was not allowed by car but ``ah, if you had a horse, you could go as fast as the wind . . . All you needed for a horse was a stick and some kind of bridle.'' With a true child's voice, McLerran uses just the right phrase or word to make the town and its residents spring clearly off the page. Cooney's brightly colored illustrations done in her classic and recognizable style etch the town and its inhabitants indelibly on the page as well as in the mind's eye. Her soft, personable little figures give the town and its story just the right feeling. This book celebrates how children and their imaginations make fanciful things become magically real and make them last forever. Don't miss it. --Jane Marino, White Plains Pub. Lib., NY |
