Ang Pangungulila ng Isang Balyan (The Loneliness of a Scarecrow) is an account of a simpler time and way of life, seen through the eyes of that staple of rural landscapes, the titular scarecrow. Through him we experience the changing of the seasons, the toils of planting and the joy of harvest, the peace in keeping still in a fast-paced world. Enriched by Girlie Aragon's lush illustrations in pastel, this story by Philippine National Artist Virgilio Almario, translated by Marne Kilates from the original Filipino into English, is a treat for any old soul who wishes to hark back to the warm days of the barrio, or a child who's never had the opportunity to watch fireflies or hear crickets singing at eventide.
