The sequel to John Gordon's 'Giant Under the Snow', 'Ride the Wind' is really hard to find, but I discovered there is a copy in the Merril Collection in the Lillian H. Smith branch, Toronto Library.

Today I sat down and read it cover to cover (its reference only).

I enjoyed doing the portraits (digital), fed a few into Midjourney to see what it made of them. These are the digital and Midjourney versions of Dickie and Modius.
