Polar Dreams: Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft
Just down the street from where I live is a children’s bookstore called the <I>Wild Rumpus</I>. Built into the purple exterior of the front door is a smaller door for children to use and a posted sign warning visitors not to let the cats out. This is the door I used on Sat, Oct. the 4th when I walked in and saw, directly to my right, polar adventurer Ann Bancroft kneeling on the floor, talking to the chicken kept in their front window.
