Reserve Your Event Space

or people who like to get their hands in the dirt, Cliff Avenue Greenhouse & Garden Center has been a go-to spot for seeds, annuals, perennials, and everything else needed to help your garden grow for more than 40 years. Here’s a little quick history: the business had its first home on Cliff Avenue in 1972 (the original owner’s home) where the first offerings were tomato plants sold out of the garage. Then the opportunity came along to purchase a greenhouse. The business relocated to East 26th Street about a decade later and went through a variety of additions and renovations. As Sioux Falls grew, Cliff Avenue Greenhouse & Garden Center saw a need to expand and, as they like to say, a second location “sprouted up” on West 41st Street in 1992. If your green thumb is not so green, but you enjoy the beauty of fresh flowers, you can have the designers at Cliff Avenue Greenhouse & Garden Center create unique arrangements, from a simple bouquet to more elaborate designs for special events. They serve the Sioux Falls area, but they also are part of the Teleflora network that allows you to send flowers all over the world. While both locations have carried gift and home décor items over the years, the business recently increased their offerings in those lines, as well as added more clothing, and a boutique within the store called Janie B’s, named after the original owner. This expansion offers a diverse shopping experience for customers, whether they are there for flowers, looking for a gift or searching for unique home décor or clothing pieces for themselves. Appropriately, many of the items offered in the store carry a floral theme – from poppy-print kitchen towels to flower-decorated magnet clips. Cliff Avenue has your entertaining needs covered with a variety of mixes for cheeseballs, dips, desserts and soups – along with drinkware, party napkins and cheeseboards. A unique item for those who like to cook is a line of spices from Chef Marla Cohen, whose great grandmother cooked by the Yiddish “Shit-arein” method, which translates into something other than what we may think! It’s a real word that means to “throw in a little of this and a little of that.” Chef Marla uses that style of cooking today, and her spices reflect that style with their variety of ingredients and uses with names like Chicken Sh**, Jack Sh** and Hot Sh** (for dishes where you want to kick up the heat).

Both locations carry a variety of women’s clothing items. Having just wrapped up the summer season of dresses and lightweight, “flowy” tops, they are moving into long-sleeves, pants and even fleece-lined tights from Blossom Boutique. You can complete your outfit with a wide array of jewelry items or perhaps a Baggalini bag, a line with handbags, crossbody bags, totes for traveling and more. If you are a pet lover, you can find everything from pillows to planters with dog or cat themes. Need some pampering? Check out the lines of bath and beauty products from The Naked Bee and Skinny & Co. Coconut Oil. Like to ride bikes? Well, there are many bike-themed items, too. Whether you’re shopping for a birthday or a “just because” gift, you can find something for everyone – from candles and room scent sachets to notebooks, keepsake boxes and home décor pieces with inspirational sayings. And, if you are welcoming a new baby, you can also find adorable onesies, plush animals and blankets. As seasons change, so do the flowers….and clothing….and gift items at both stores. The holidays are just around the corner, so it won’t be long before the Fall oranges and yellows give way to Christmas reds and greens. But, keeping things new and fresh for their customers is a priority, because they want everyone to keep coming back to visit. Growing with Sioux Falls and allowing new business ideas to blossom is why Cliff Avenue Greenhouse & Garden Center has been planted in the community for the past 45 years.

New Location for Business Neighbors in Brandon

Beautique and Gypsy Trading Co. Move to Splitrock Boulevard BY MARY MICHAELS | PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY

llison Cutrer and Amanda Christopherson have been friends and members of the Brandon business community for several years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cutrer owns Gypsy Trading Co. with her husband Billy, and Christopherson owns Beautique. They had already been business neighbors on Cedar Street in Brandon, but they moved earlier this summer to a new, 12,000-squarefoot retail center on Splitrock Boulevard. Both agree the location provides more space and greater visibility for their businesses. Cutrer and Christopherson took a rustic approach to decorating their respective stores, using items like barn wood, sliding barn doors and vintage-style Edison bulbs.

Beauty + Boutique = Beautique

Beautique Hours: Mon-Wed and Fri 10:30am-6pm Thurs 10:30am-8pm • Sat 10am-4pm • Sun 12pm-4pm 513 N Splitrock Blvd, Brandon 605.582.2882 • @beautiquellc

Christopherson started her business three years ago, selling items both online and from her basement and garage. It didn’t take long before she moved into the Cedar Street location, where she was able to add staff and expand her lines to include kids clothing and beauty products. The idea for Beautique came from her own shopping experiences, where she discovered she enjoyed the “boutique” experience with personalized service and unique items that you won’t find everywhere else in town. Christopherson’s business philosophy in opening her own boutique was to ensure that she had the latest styles on hand – but at affordable prices. Beautique offers a variety of clothing and shoes for women, as well as some pieces for girls and infants. Select a pair of jeans from the wall of denim, find tops or dresses for work or comfy pieces for the weekend. They even have some items that are just for fun – like novelty t-shirts. Need a gift for a teacher? Choose the shirt that reads, “May your coffee be strong and your students be calm.” If you have a young fashionista in your life, check out the girls’ items like a pink fur vest or a red and black buffalo plaid vest that can go with plaid–lined jeans. The little dress with a t-shirt top saying, “It’s my birthday!” and a colorful tutu skirt is so adorable you will wish it came in adult sizes, too. For women who are on the go with no time for hair-styling, the store carries a collection of novelty caps as well. Some support the local team (the Lynx of Brandon Valley), and others proclaim the kind of “hat day” you’re having with phrases like “Soccer Mom,” “Baseball Mom” or “Camping Hair. Don’t Care.” Shelves along one wall hold rows of shoes, sandals, cute closed-toe and peep-toe booties for women, and colorful Welly boots for women and girls. With cooler weather on the horizon, you can find lots of layering pieces like pullover crew sweatshirts, hoodies, vests and jackets. Beautique has everything you need to

etc. for her | September 2017 15

complete your outfit, too, from purses and wallets to “Love Your Melon” beanie hats, fun socks and jewelry. Nails pounded into rows of repurposed barn wood provide a wall-sized display for necklaces, earrings and bracelets. A unique jewelry line for both women and girls is from Jane Marie – charm necklaces that come packed on cards with inspirational messages. In addition to clothing, Beautique carries decorative water bottles and coffee mugs, key chains to fit your personality, throw pillows, whimsical car coasters (they go in the cup holder of your car to absorb moister), Mona B. “Hearsay” adhesive messages for your phone and a variety of fun magnets displayed on an old turquoise Kelvinator refrigerator. It’s a good idea to follow Beautique on Snapchat (@beautiquellc) to get sneak peeks of new arrivals and go “behind the scenes” with Christopherson at photoshoots and buying markets. There just might be some exclusive deals in there, too.

Vintage and More at Gypsy Trading Co. Ellison Cutrer has been in business almost as long as her neighbor at Beautique. Cutrer and her husband founded Gypsy Trading Co. in 2015 and started their business just like Christopherson did – refinishing furniture and selling antique and vintage home décor online and out of their garage. The new store location gives them ample floor space to show off their own handiwork, as well as vintage, antique, recycled and repurposed pieces from other vendors. And with 58 vendors and 14 retail companies showcased at the store, there is definitely something for everyone – for any occasion – or for any room in your house. Just like Christopherson’s approach to the clothing over at Beautique, Cutrer says Gypsy Trading Co. is committed to ensuring the quality of the pieces they carry and selling them at an affordable price. “Too often, people toss things out, and they end up in the burn pile or the landfill,” she says. “But repurposing furniture and other items gives them new life and new uses. So you get something unique, and you also help the

cookie cutters or even a red plaid metal lunchbox. The store is filled with furniture, such as dressers and tables, which have been refinished to preserve their original look. Other items show just how much

creativity people have when it comes to recycling, upcycling and repurposing just about any kind of object you can imagine. Tiny square frames hold illustrations and heart-felt messages, like the drawing of a hangar with the words, “I love hanging

around with you.” Old windows with glass panes serve as canvasses for painted pictures or inspirational quotes. Small pieces cut from trees became floating shelves for the wall and old farm-style feed bags are repurposed as throw pillows. Creativity is displayed in different forms – the artistic hand lettering on a piece of wall art or the whimsy of a garden flower sculpture made from old screwdrivers or a table lamp made from an orange rotary dial phone. At every turn, you see something that perhaps reminds you of your childhood – like old kitchen canisters and cookie jars – or something that just makes you say “wow” like a hall tree made from an old door and a wood box or a wine bottle rack made from horseshoes. If you already are a furniture DIY’er, or you want to learn, you can choose from a wall of jars filled with Stella’s Paints. Blocks of painted wood serve as color samples, and Cutrer occasionally offers classes on using chalk paint on furniture. Or, you can browse through containers of letters, numbers and shapes cut from corrugated metal to create something for your wall at home. Mixed in with the old is a little bit of new, including a display of funny “Freakers,” which are one-size-fitsall beverage insulators. Think socks for your bottles. They’re designed to prevent “bottle sweat” and actually fit any size bottle or cup. Not only are the designs clever, but so are the names for each design – such as a beagle in a canoe (“Dog Paddle”), a pepper with a red bandana and braids (“Chile Nelson”) or a feline in a flight suit (“Tomcat Cruise”). (Note to grown-ups only: be sure to check out the “creative” greeting cards and the dish towels by Twisted Wares. Laugh out loud funny, but not for young readers!).

“I am so proud to be involved with the Northern Plains Indian Art Market. This thirtieth annual show is special because it gives us a chance to celebrate this history and artists who have come before us and look forward to the work of new and emerging artists who are bringing new vitality to American Indian art.” said Debra Bordeaux, Vice President of Student Studies at Sinte Gleska University and an organizer for the art market.

The Making of an Archeologist ADRIEN HANNUS and the Archeological Laboratory at Augustana BY RON ROBINSON

L. Adrien Hannus. (Photo by Carl Grupp)

. Adrien Hannus is worried that innate human curiosity may be blunted by modern technology. Himself a person of infinite curiosity, Hannus is one of the region’s few bona fide archeologists, a profession which is the result of what has always seemed the insatiable curiosity of the human animal. Not satisfied with the written record of mankind, probing minds asked, “What came before?” Hannus is a native of the central plains, having been born in Wichita, KS, and having earned a B.A. in Psychology and Political Science from the Wichita State University. He is so much acculturated to the plains, he says, that he is made uncomfortable by visits to the eastern woodlands. “I couldn’t live there, “ he says, because he is so used to the wide open spaces. Hannus traces his interest in archeology back to summer forays to museums in Chicago when he was a child. Every summer, while visiting relatives, he made repeated visits to the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry. After his father, a French chef and restaurateur, died when Hannus was eight, his mother continued to support his interests, and arranged for him to visit paleontologists at the Field. He was fascinated with what the scholars could show him. His interest was further stimulated by books given him by relatives. And a neighbor helped fuel the fire by giving him a subscription to Archeology Magazine. Working for a pharmacist starting at age 11 to help support the family, he learned other skills that were to come in handy later. At first he simply delivered prescriptions, but later the head pharmacist, who had a doctor’s degree in organic chemistry, allowed him to make compounds and extracts and to fill prescriptions. While today pharmacists are more concerned with “counting pills and arguing with insurance

HISTORY

companies,” according to Hannus, in those days the back of a pharmacy resembled a chemical laboratory. His uncle and aunt, a geneticist and a chemist respectively, encouraged his interests by supplementing his Gilbert chemistry set with other chemicals, and his aunt even wrote out experiments he might conduct. When his mother called a visiting lecturer, the famed anthropologist Dr. Froelich Rainey, to tell him her son had a bad cold and would be unable to attend the lecture, Rainey took a bus from his hotel to the Hannus house, examined Adrien’s personal museum, and visited with the boy about his discipline for almost four hours. Rainey later sent the him a cast of a small Australopithecus skull which Hannus still keeps on a stand beside his bed. Such influences, Hannus says, were all “subtle and nuanced,” but nevertheless effective, for he was to return to his childhood interests later. As he came of age, however, his relatives, save for his mother, warned him against becoming an archeologist “for fear that he would starve to death.”. The war in Viet Nam curtailed his study of the law just when he was beginning to “lose his naivete” about the field. His 12-month tour of duty in Viet Nam, 1967-68, which included combat and doing body counts in the killing fields, turned him against the war effort, which he came to think was misguided. And following the war, he says, “I didn’t even think about going back to law school. After his honorable discharge, Hannus earned an M.A. in cultural anthropology from Wichita State, then, while teaching first at Huron College and then at South Dakota State University, pursued a Phd from the University of Utah. His exploration of the Lange-Ferguson mammoth kill site in the South Dakota Badlands provided abundant material for his doctoral thesis. The site dates to some 12,000 years

ago, when hunters set upon two mammoths trapped in a bog. Hannus determined, based upon stone and bone tools found at the site, that the hunters were of the very early Clovis culture, noted for its exquisitely shaped spearheads or “points.” His work there remains his most satisfying archeological experience, he says. Granted his Phd in 1983, Hannus has since become one of the most renowned archeologists in the plains states, with numerous publications to his credit. As professor of anthropology at Augustana University, he established a self-supporting archeological laboratory which has explored sites throughout the region. He became something of a celebrity when he offered to undergo a colonic surgical procedure in which a doctor used obsidian flakes rather than surgical scalpels. The flakes, he knew, were actually sharper than scalpels, down to a single molecular width. Hannus’ participation in the Time Team American PBS television program increased his public image, but his real interest is promoting archeology and training future archeologists. He has found plenty of dedicated students, enough to expand the Augustana program and to take on a colleague, Assistant Professor Dr. Kristen (K.C.) Carlson, whose speciality is the southern plains people. Yearly, he and Prof. Alan Outram from Exeter College in England, take students to the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village for field work excavating the site and continuing their studies. Students in the program over the years have shown an abundance of curiosity and perseverance in their studies. These days, however, Hannus finds that the dazzling images of portable electronic devices may have so captured the fascination of young people that they are mesmerized into a state of numbness toward what matters most. The technology, he believes, “Has altered the entire structure of education, which should be a two-way process.”

Hannus is also disturbed by the turns that his profession has taken away from simple academic pursuits and toward pragmatic applications such as surveying future building sites. In addition, laws passed since 1970 have made it harder for archeologists to explore ancient grave sites, just at a time when DNA research, along with the other interdisciplinary studies now available to archeologists, might answer some of the “big questions,” such as where ancient humans migrated and how they adapted to the climatic vagaries of the northern plains. “My relatives, were right,” Hannus says. “I did become an archeologist, and I did starve.” Despite all, Hannus remains optimistic. “I get up each morning and think, ‘Well, this is a pretty good day.’” By noon, however, it may be dangerous to ask him a how things are going. Hannus is happy to deal with those who remain curious, however. From December through May he hosts meetings of the Archeology Society of South Dakota in the evening of the first Thursday of each month at Augustana University The meetings are open to the public and feature absorbing presentations concerning archeology and anthropology. During the spring of each year, he invites guest lecturers to give presentations about their specialities on afternoons of the third Sunday of each month, again open to the public. They are just the sort of thing Adrien Hannus would have delighted in as a youth. Ron Robinson has been a member of the Minnehaha Century Fund since 2005. He now serves as one of the directors. Other members include Celia Benson, vice president and president pro tem; Wayne Fanebust, Secretary; Jeanne Pattison, Treasurer; Bill Pattison, John Timm, John McIntyre, and Steve Johnson

“W

Just like she has filled the café with art and food and people that bring calm and joy to her soul, so too has she created a home that tells her life story and provides a place where she finds peace. Haugen describes the

style of her house as “hippy eclectic.” When she moved in a decade ago, she was a divorced mom with two young kids. The house itself was built in 1955 and while others may have felt the need for more extensive renovations to create a more contemporary look, Haugen says she felt a connection to so much of the house just as it was. That’s not to say she hasn’t updated a few things. Most of the house had blue walls, fire engine red trim and yellow ceilings, says Haugen. And then there was the light blue shag carpet. While she painted all the walls, trim and ceilings, and replaced flooring in the kitchen with tile, she actually kept the oak cupboards because they just seemed to fit. Looking closely at the design imprinted in the earth-tone walls in the kitchen and dining room, it doesn’t take long to realize they are turtles. “My grandma as a member of Fingerhut, the mail-order company, so she collected all sorts of things,” says Haugen. “She would take brown paper bags and fill them will some of those things or things she made,

staple them shut and create ‘grab bags’ for us kids. In one of my bags, I got this beaded turtle that she made. And then my other grandma who traveled quite a bit gave me a turtle ring. I’ve collected turtles ever since.” Haugen explains she learned that turtles represent longevity – perfect for a self-proclaimed old soul – and another story is that they predict a first-born will be a son…which was true for her. Looking down at the rug under the dining room table, she motions at the edges with her foot. “It’s tattered,” she says. “But that represents home to me – comfortable and lived-in.” Another treasure in the kitchen sits on the counter so she sees it whether she’s making a cup of coffee or creating a delicious dinner a bobblehead of well-known Sioux Falls culinary personality Chef Dominque. The two worked together many years ago at Theo’s restaurant. “He’s really responsible for me cooking,” she says. “I started as a salad girl at Theo’s, and worked my way up. I learned so much from him.” Haugen’s creativity in the kitchen is equaled by her creativity in

the way she brings things together to create a home that is functional, welcoming, whimsical and meaningful. While some pieces of furniture, art or décor came from adventures at yard sales and thrift stores, others were purposefully added because they are very telling of her values – not the least of which is the importance of family. Whether it is a gingerbread man decorated cookie jar from her Great Aunt Hazel or a small table her son made in shop class, so many pieces in her house are tied to family and are placed with great care where they can be seen, talked about and appreciated. Haugen’s family story is made a little more unique because her father is former Governor of South Dakota, the late William Janklow. A Terry Redlin painting in the dining room and one by Oscar Howe in the hallway are on loan from her mom, pieces of her parents’ collection of South Dakota art. In that hallway, there are pictures of family and friends, as well as other special treasures, sitting on two rows of chair rails on each wall.

“I love these,” Haugen says of the rails, which were in the house when she moved in. Interspersed with the pictures are rocks, crystals, little statues – and turtles! – that she has collected through her travels or when thrifting. While the Native American art of Oscar Howe certainly commands attention, the more striking piece in the hallway is on the opposite wall. It is an enlarged color photo from 2012, a flag-draped coffin in the Rotunda of the South Dakota Capitol, when Governor Janklow was lying in state. “Some people might wonder why I have this here,” says Haugan, “because it is very sad. We all miss my dad. But this picture is so beautiful, so respectful. Such a tribute to his life.” Just as life ebbs and flows between sadness and joy, Haugen’s home transitions from those remembrances of loved ones who are gone to her life today with her children. Doors in the hallway lead to the home’s bedrooms and main bathroom. “When I moved in with my kids ten years ago, I let them pick their

own colors to paint their rooms.” Lime green was her son’s choice. Now that he’s out of the house at college, one green wall remains in the room that became an office space for Haugen. Her daughter’s choice was bright pink, although as she got older, Haugen changed a couple of walls to brown and added more “teenager-esque” accents. The aged white dressing table in the corner belonged to her grandmother, and the headboard from her daughter’s bed, along with a dresser and end table in the master bedroom, were part of a set that came from her dad’s family when they lived in Chicago. The rectangular windows in Haugen’s room allow plenty of sunshine to come in, and their placement high on the walls also provides privacy. On the dresser and table are hats to fit her mood of the day. “I have lots of hats,” she confesses with a smile. Her bathroom still features the original light blue tile, which certainly has its own character. Perhaps not quite as much, though as the pink tile in the home’s main bathroom. When you meet Haugen, it just seems

natural that she found a house with such unique character all its own. The bathroom’s layout is somewhat nontraditional, with the tub located in a square section right inside the door. The tub itself sits on the diagonal of the square, with built-in selves on either side. Burgundy drapes add both charm and privacy. Prints of a “hippy car” and of the Jimi Hendrix quote hang on the walls While you might think the burgundy, pink and light blue stripes on the walls are also original to the house, they aren’t. “I was in St. Paul, and I got this great shopping bag,” Haugen says. “I carried that bag forever. And it was decorated with similar-colored stripes. I knew I wanted to create something someday with that design. So, that was my inspiration for the walls.” Each room of the house has a story to tell, but if one room had to be the “executive summary,” it would be the living room. Here you find all of the things that feed her soul – family, travel, unexpected finds, music, and nature. When Haugen was changing the color scheme from the primary

red, blue and yellow colors, she chose a natural green for this room and created a leaf imprint design on the walls. Above the fireplace hangs a beautiful color portrait of Haugen and her children when they were young. Next to the peacock-designed fireplace grate is a picture of two sets of little feet (her children’s) that she once used on the inside of a Christmas card with the greeting, “May you put your best foot forward in the new year.” Built-in shelves to the left of the fireplace are filled with various little statues, trinkets and treasures. There are two framed lithographs from magazines she got for a quarter each. Many little statues came from a variety of countries where her parents had the opportunity to travel. A small wooden box was a find at a Pierre thrift store when her family lived there during Governor Janklow’s service. When you lift the lid of the box, its bottom drawer slides out. Then there is a little ivory castle sculpture that came from Germany. When Governor Janklow was a child, his family lived in Germany, and his father died unexpectedly there, leaving his

mother and the children there. The little castle is something Haugen’s grandmother brought home with her. In a chair next to those shelves sits her dad’s banjo – one of many musical references throughout the house. One wall contains a collection of eclectic pieces, such as a machete that came from a trip Haugen took to Haiti with her dad in 1990 and a purse made from a turtleshell. The living room also has shelves of CD’s and shelves of plants (and turtles). There is a china hutch with a newlyacquired collection of Buddha statues. “A friend of mine introduced me to a gentleman who came into the Old Soul Café,” Haugen says. “His wife had recently passed away, and this was her collection. My friend thought I might be interested in looking at some of them, but then the gentleman told me his wife really wanted them all to be kept together. I just felt like this was one of those meetings that was supposed to be. So, here are the Buddhas – all 100 or so of them.” In the corner is a collection of musical instruments, from bongos and maracas to a guitar and an old coin-operated Nickelodeon player piano,

complete with a tambourine, drum, wood block and xylophone inside. It belonged to Haugen’s dad and was a piece she says he was concerned about before he passed away, wanting to ensure that it found a new home. While she loves the house where she has spent the past ten years, there was really only one thing that was the deciding factor in her buying it – and that was the backyard. One of the previous owners was very attentive to planting and caring for the plants and flowers in the yard, even leaving instructions for Shonna (which she follows). The back edge has trees and bushes that are high enough for privacy but still allow her to see green space and even a cemetery in the distance. She says people ask if it bothers her at all to be that close to the cemetery, but Haugen says she just feels surrounded by spirit and a sense of peace. At the edge of the patio is a metal spiral staircase she calls her “stairway to heaven.” An artist friend who created a decorative wall at her café called her one day asking if she knew of anyone who would want it. He asked the right person. Near the house is a pink petunia-filled flower bed. Literally. They are planted inside the frame of an old rope bed Haugen’s mom found at a cabin in the Black Hills. When Haugen first moved in, there was a water feature in the main part of the yard. But, with two young children, she moved it to the far corner and eventually added a small fence. Now, that fence helps keep her dogs out of the water, but also created an added benefit in drawing in more birds who enjoy the protected spot for a cool drink. A separate 3-season porch was built in the yard and sits next to the water feature. When you sit inside, you almost get the feeling that the water is running right under your feet. “When I first moved in, I hardly ever used this space because it was painted all white and just wasn’t me,” she says. “As soon as I painted it, though, I found myself coming out here more.” Since it was wired for electricity, with a ceiling fan and an outlet for lights or, more importantly, music, she then added a futon and other furniture. Then it became a spot for her daughter’s birthday sleepovers or family camp-outs. In fact, there are still times when she’ll tell her daughter, “I’m going camping,” and then go sleep out in the porch. Not everything at Haugen’s home is in perfect condition. Some things are even broken. But, she says, “broken things need a home, too.” That says a lot about this “old soul” and her little corner of the world where she finds her peace and joy.

It’s All About

the Ambience!

BY JIM MATHIS

few nights ago, my beloved and I started talking on the subject of restaurant ambience. While we appreciate the white tablecloth, slow food, fine dining kind of restaurants, they are a luxury; the kind of place you go every now and then. Most of the time, we’re looking for comfortable restaurants with great food. Here in Sioux Falls, some of the best food comes from places like M.B. Haskett, K and Parker’s. The food qualifies as fine dining, but you don’t feel out of place in jeans. That works for Sioux Falls; we’re a comfortable and casual kind of town. When I think about ambience, it’s more than just the way the restaurant is decorated. It’s the lighting, the music, and even the serving ware. I can’t tell you how many times my impression of a meal has been influenced by something seemingly small like those stubby wine glasses or the silverware that seems like it was lifted from a high school cafeteria. Little things like that can have a big impact on your dining experience.

MAN IN THE KITCHEN

Years ago, some restaurants, particularly diners and fast food establishments, were outfitted with what the industry called “15-minute chairs.” The theory goes that the chairs, stools and booths are designed to be comfortable, but only for about 15 minutes. Why? Because there is profit in turning the tables; churning new customers in and out quickly gets more people served and puts more money in the till. While this theory was quite popular in the ‘50s and ‘60s, even most fast food chains have changed to make you a little more comfortable sitting for a longer time. The other side of that coin is the fine dining establishment. These higher priced establishments encourage customers to stay a little longer and as you linger, you may order another drink or a dessert. In this scenario, it pays to keep customers around. Here the emphasis on ambience is higher and attention to detail generally increases with the cost of the meal. In the middle of the pack are the casual dining restaurants like

Applebee’s, Chevys, Chili’s and similar. Most of these restaurants shoot for a casual, fun and lively atmosphere. Generally you’ll have plenty of TVs tuned to sporting events, and the service is fast, friendly and portions tend to be ample. Here in South Dakota, we love this kind of place. With big food at a fair price and the chance to catch the ball game and have a beer, what’s not to like? A month or so ago some friends invited us to dinner at Morrie’s. It’s in the location of the old Foley’s and was recently refreshed and rebranded. While we enjoyed some fantastic food and wine, (and great conversations with friends whom we hadn’t seen in a while) the thing that struck us about Morrie’s was that it was incredibly comfortable. We got to dinner about 6:00 p.m. and before we said our goodbyes it was 9:00 p.m.. This was a study in ambience. The décor and furniture is particularly inviting. It felt like we were guests in someone’s home. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The food and drink were well timed; we didn’t find our entrees arriving before we were done with our salads. Morrie’s has gotten the “big city steakhouse” feeling down. The lighting was right, the music was present, but never intruded on our conversation. Substantial cutlery that made you know you were in for a great steak. If you’ve been to classic steakhouses like Murray’s in the Twin Cities or one of the high-end chains likes Morton’s or Ruth’s Chris, you’ve no doubt felt this before. But one detail that stood out at Morrie’s (to the point that we talked about it) was the chairs. We sat there for hours, and could have stayed longer. They were comfortable, firm and supportive, but not harsh in any way. These were the polar opposite to the “15 Minute” seats. These were made for hours of comfort. On the other end of the spectrum, we see some restaurants that turn out great food but skimp on the ambience. Inexpensive or uncomfortable chairs don’t exactly encourage you to linger and order another drink. I saw a review online of a new restaurant in Des Moines, and the photo at the top showed tables and chairs that I recognized from a Sioux Falls restaurant. They look great in the photo, but sit for more than twenty minutes and you’ll feel that polished wooden seat digging into your thighs. The review raved about the food, but the parting shot was about the harsh feeling of chairs. Yeah, I saw that coming. It’s long been said that you eat with eyes before your mouth, but aren’t all your senses involved in a really good meal? What is it that makes your favorite place so great? Is it the perfect choice of music? The coffee cup that just feels great in your hand? Or is it just the food? For me, it really takes the right combination of everything. It’s all about the ambiance. Do yourself a favor, eat something good today! When Jim is not eating, cooking or writing about food, he runs ADwërks, an advertising agency in downtown Sioux Falls.

MEN ARE LIKE

Fine Wine BY RICCARDO TARABELSI

ver the course of my 15-year restaurant career, I had the privilege of hearing and seeing some pretty strange things. They say that Stephen King has gotten all of his horror story ideas, which have turned into best-sellers, by sitting in a booth at restaurants. Then, he casually sips his coffee as he eavesdrops on his neighboring booths’ conversations. That should give you an idea of just what occurs in a restaurant setting. Over the years, I’ve observed blind dates gone awry, couples breaking up, people leaving without paying, and families sitting in silence. I’ve witnessed little kids throwing sauce-drenched pasta, half-eaten chicken strips, forks, knives, straws, crayons, candles, plates, and tantrums. My personal favorite are patrons with split personalities: “What?! The wait is an hour-and-a-half?! This is outrageous! Do you know who I am? This is ridiculous. You have no clue what you’re doing. This is the worst experience ever…”

46 nest |

VINO

Then, after the meal: “Wow! This was amazing! You’re the best! I’m telling everyone about your restaurant. Can’t wait to come back! Love you!” I’ve seen patrons cry, sob, yell, scream, swear, fight, condescend, and break things. But I’ve also seen the magic… Fiftieth wedding anniversaries, surprise birthday parties for the mom that never gets recognition, proposals, engagements, puppy love, prom nights, hundred dollar tips, compliments, and bachelorette parties. I remember this one particularly inebriated bachelorette who said to me, “Men are like fine wine!” Of course, as an avid wine guy, she caught my attention. She then continued, “They all start off like grapes, and it’s a woman’s job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something we’d like to have dinner with!” How true…

G For those of you seeking a mature wine to have dinner with, I highly suggest looking at fine wines from Italy. There are two that come to mind almost immediately, both from Tuscany. The first is the highest Riserva Chianti from longtime wine producer Ruffino, and the other comes from Tuscan wine royalty Castello Banfi. Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro was first produced in 1947 and is an evolution of Ruffino’s Riserva Ducale. The Oro is appropriately decorated with a beautiful gold label, a replica of the Riserva Ducale label. What makes this wine a significant event on your palate is the length of time this wine is given as it matures. After malolactic fermentation is complete, then aged about 36 months, first in vats for about 3 months, then in oak casks for about 24 months, and lastly in the bottle for a minimum of 6 months. This wine is absolutely superb, and well worth the price. Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro is one of those hidden treasures in the wine world, winning many accolades in wine competitions but often overshadowed by its neighboring Tuscan competitor to the south: Montalcino. Brunello di Montalcino is arguably the most sought after Italian wine in recent history, especially after the 1997 vintage blew the socks off of every wine aficionado on the planet. Castello Banfi has been making award-winning Brunello wines for decades, and the care that is taken when harvesting these special Sangiovese Grosso grapes in the small town of Montalcino is evident in the bottle. Meticulous grape selection is followed by a 10 day wine vinification and subsequently aged for 2 years in oak barrels of various sizes: 350 liter barriques and 60 and 120 hectoliter barrels. Then the wine is aged in the bottle for a minimum of 12 months before it is released. Just when you thought this couldn’t get any better, Banfi also produces a Brunello di Montalcino called Poggio all’Oro which is even more mature version of the Brunello, only aged an extra year in the barrel. Talk about a big wine! One of my all time favorites… I would be remiss if I didn’t mention three other wines that are made in Italy, only this time in the regions of Piedmont and Valpolicella. Barolo and Barbaresco are the reigning wines of Piedmont, both are huge and aged in oak barrels for years, yielding bold Nebbiolo wines that rival any high-end Napa Cab you’ve ever had. The other is Amarone della Valpolicella. Only the best grapes from this region are hand-harvested and then laid on wooden racks for 3 to 4 months before they’re pressed and doublefermented to create one of the driest wines I’ve ever tasted. Next time you’re looking for a little more sophistication out of your wine, look no further than your friends in Italy who are making outstanding, mature wines. Carpe Vino!

WHAT TO DO WHEN SICKNESS TRAVELS WITH YOU AVERA HEALTH

HEALTH & WELL-BEING

ho hasn’t been on vacation and gotten ill or had a child puke in the backseat or some kind of illness halt the fun? Besides being a bummer, injury or illness when you’re out of town can also bring on anxiety and added cost. Where do I go for care? Will it be covered by insurance? How much will it cost? As health systems continue to make services more convenient, you have more affordable options at your fingertips when you’re away from home. If you signed up for a member portal such as AveraChart, remember you can often email your provider for minor, nonemergent questions and prescription refill issues. Thanks to virtual care options like AveraNow, you can also connect to a provider 24/7 for simple illnesses such as flu or rashes. Even better, AveraNow is now available across the United States, and with a flat fee of $49 you don’t even use insurance. If your ailment is more serious and needs immediate attention in an emergency room, you still have options. “Most health plans, including Avera, offer emergency medical care nationwide for these types of instances,” said Janice Lewis, Sales Associate with Avera Health Plans. “Don’t hesitate to get the care you need regardless of what state you’re in.”

You Are Invited to a Grand Opening Celebration of

Janie B’s

Boutique by Cliff Ave Greenhouse!

A new women’s apparel boutique September 19 6-8pm at our 26th St. location September 21 6-8pm at our 41st St. location

If you’re heading out of town you’ll have access to AveraNow anywhere in the United States. Download the app before you go. If you find yourself in need of immediate care: • P resent your member ID card at the hospital as you normally would. • Follow the instructions on the back of your card. Many health plans require prior notification for treatment outside the normal service area. If this is not an in-network provider then it is your responsibility to call. There are also a few things you should do to prepare for vacation: • Make sure you have your member ID with you in case you need it. • Make sure you have important insurance contact information with you in case you need to inquire about benefits and coverage. If you’re an Avera Health Plans member, all this important information would be on your MyHealthPlan app • Double-check your prescription stock before you leave so you don’t need to deal with the hassle of refilling them away from home.

Sip and shop while browsing through our new fall apparel.

ack pain can be detrimental both to your physical wellbeing and your ability to enjoy your day both at work and in your free time. That’s why it’s a good idea to pinpoint what’s causing your back pain so you can start to get some relief.

These conditions typically become more prevalent with age but can be treated with physical therapy. In addition, chiropractic treatment, injections and acupuncture are among the many non-surgical treatments that can curb your back pain.

Here are six such causes that are common among backpain sufferers.

Strains

Chronic Conditions If back pain is persistent or long-term, there’s a chance you may be experiencing some sort of chronic condition. These can vary greatly depending on your genetics and your life situation, but they can include conditions such as arthritis, which can, in turn, spur stenosis or osteoporosis.

Since your back is not only made up of vertebrae but also muscle, strains are also a factor in back-related pain. A strain of a back muscle or ligament can often be traced back to overdoing it when lifting or engaging in manual labor. In fact, the less often you exercise or the less fit you are, the more likely you are to strain your back when you suddenly use those muscles for physical activity.

help you learn the best ways to use your body during physical activity. Schedule a session with a D1 trainer.

Disc Complications Sometimes it’s not even your spine or back muscles themselves that are causing your back pain. The disks that act as cushions between the vertebrae in your spine can also be a reason you’re experiencing pain. These discs are critical for keeping your spine in good working condition, but they can sometimes bulge or rupture for a variety of reasons, including improper heavy lifting or hereditary conditions.

Bone Abnormalities Athletes in particular may encounter pain related to certain types of abnormalities, such as spondylolysis—a crack or stress fracture in a vertebrae— and spondylolisthesis—a weakened bone shifting or slipping out of its proper place due to spondylolysis. This is particularly

evident in track and field athletes (high and long jumpers), dancers and gymnasts. In many cases, symptoms will typically improve through conservative treatment, including a period of rest from sports and other strenuous activities. In severe cases, surgery may be recommended in order to relieve symptoms.

Injuries While often easier to pinpoint due to the ability to link it to a specific trauma event, injury-based back pain can often go unnoticed if what caused it seemed minor. The truth is, acute fractures can sometimes be caused by seemingly everyday things, such as a severe cough or sneeze or a minor fender bender in your vehicle. If you can link your pain back to an event such as these, a fracture may be a possible cause.

Everyday Habits What you do in your day-to-day life can also have an adverse effect on your

back. Excess weight due to unhealthy eating habits or lack of consistent exercise can put undue strain on your spine and back muscles, as well as your joints. Your posture and how you sit for prolonged periods (if you’re an office worker especially) can also be a primary cause of back pain. Your choice of footwear or the way you position yourself during sleep can even be a cause for pain. The important thing is that your back pain can most likely be diagnosed and treated. Orthopedic Institute offers pain management physicians dedicated to the nonsurgical management of spine problems, spine surgeons who can handle complex spine problems and spinespecialized physical therapists all under one roof. At Orthopedic Institute, we strive to get patients “back” to their active lifestyles as quickly as possible. Schedule an appointment with an OI professional to get to the bottom of your back pain, 605-331-5890.

A Charlottesville, VIRGINIA VACATION

he city of Charlottesville, Virginia, is situated at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and at the headwaters of the Rivanna River. Just about 100 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., Charlottesville is the perfect place for both outdoor and indoor adventures. It is rich with history and full of ways to stay busy and entertained. Fun fact: two U.S. Presidents called Charlottesville home: Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. Located on Thomas Jefferson Parkway just outside of

Charlottesville, Monticello, was the home to Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. The plantation consisted of 5,000 acres and was used to grow crops such as tobacco. Designed by Jefferson, the house sits on an 850-foot hill. He chose a neoclassical design and incorporated many popular European elements during the latter part of the 18th century. Listed as a U.S. National Historic Landmark Monticello is the only private house in the country to be designated as a UNESCO

Located on James Monroe Parkway, Highland is currently owned by Monroe’s alma mater, the College of William and Mary.

property in 1825, and today it is a working farm, museum, and venue for performances. At the University of Virginia in the Thomas H. Bayly Memorial Building built in 1935, the Fralin Museum of Art has a collection consisting of 13,000 pieces old and new. Also owned by the University of Virginia is the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection. Housed at Pantops Farm on Worrell Drive, this art collection was once owned by Thomas Jefferson and is the only museum in the nation that is exclusively devoted to the art of Australian Aborigines. Today there are more than 1,700 objects including artifacts, sculptures, and paintings in the collection. Another art gallery in Charlottesville worth mentioning is the Les Jeux du Monde Art Gallery, founded in 1995. Located on Wolf Trap Road, this gallery focuses on works of art created by regional, national, and international artists and offers tours and lectures by artists in addition to exhibiting works of art. About one mile from the University, you will find a charming red house with a white porch called Ivy Inn. A romantic and cozy environment, the Inn provides a spacious covered patio and is where owner and Chef Angelo Vangelopoulus creates delicious Southern cuisine with local ingredients, paired with fine wines. Another popular restaurant and bar is Beer Run, located on Carlton Road. With 130 microbrews, a stellar wine list, and many other beers from all over the world, this is a great local hangout. The food here is also finely crafted using fresh and local ingredients from nearby farmers. A magnificently

restored 200-year-old tavern, Michie Tavern is located about a half a mile from Jefferson’s Monticello and is a great place to explore and grab a bite to eat. Staff members dressed in period costumes serve 18th-century meals in the restaurant’s rustic setting. Visitors can also tour the tavern and learn about how 18th century travelers lived. There are four stores attached to the Tavern, including a General Store within the 1797 Meadow Run Grist Mill. Another unique place to enjoy a meal, Shebeen is a South African sports bar with a menu inspired by real Zimbabwean and South African ingredients. Live music on their covered veranda is a real treat while enjoying one of their signature dishes such as the Cape Mussels. The Historic Downtown Mall is located in the heart of Charlottesville, with over 120 shops and more than 30 restaurants. Historic buildings line a seven block area, with brick streets, theaters, pedestrian dining, entertainment, and shopping. With an ice park and romantic fountains, the Downtown Pedestrian Mall is also home to the Virginia Discovery Museum. A hands-on museum, it focuses on arts, history, nature, and other fascinating topics, with children in mind. Some of its exhibits include “Pollination Station and Bee Hive”, “A-Mazing Airways”, and more. Also located downtown on East Main Street is the Jefferson Theater, built in 1912. Back in its early days, it hosted famous entertainers such as the Three Stooges and Harry Houdini. The theatre reopened after a major restoration in 2009, and is home to Charlottesville’s top performers.

Materials: White card stock, construction paper in rainbow colors, black marker, scissors, glue. Instructions: Have your child write down words to describe themselves. Encourage them to use positive words such as happy, nice, funny, and awesome. Choose seven favorite words to use for your rainbow. Cut a strip about .5 inch wide from construction paper of each color of the rainbow. Using black marker, write down one word in the middle of each strip. Cut a cloud from construction paper, and write your child’s name with black marker in the middle of the cloud. Glue each strip to the bottom of your cloud, starting with red and making your way through the order of the rainbow colors. Display this “Name-bow” in your child’s room so they can be reminded of their positive traits every day. This is also a great educational craft for your kids to learn about writing, descriptive words, and the colors of the rainbow!

Materials: paper roll, red cupcake liner, white paint, paint brush, green construction paper, scissors, sticks, glue, and a black marker. Instructions: Paint the paper roll white and let it dry completely. Using a black marker, draw some apple seeds in the middle of the paper roll. Find some small sticks outside, then carefully poke one through a red cupcake liner. Take another red cupcake liner and glue it to one end of the paper roll. This will be the bottom portion of your apple core. Glue the cupcake liner with the stick to the top end of the paper roll. The stick should be sticking out from the top of the paper roll. Next, cut out some green leaves from construction paper to glue to the top of your stick, finishing your apple core. These will make adorable gifts for your teacher’s desk.

Instructions: Starting with around a 4 inch piece of ribbon, cut the ends into a little V shape. Overlap the ends of the ribbon. If there is a pattern on one side of the ribbon, make sure that side is facing away from you when you are holding the ribbon. Next, slide the overlapped ends through the paper clip, making sure to avoid the part of the paper clip that opens. Then, start to pull the ends up through the ribbon loop in the front. If there is a pattern on the ribbon, you should now be able to see that side. Check the ends of the ribbon to make sure they are lined up, then turn the ends so the nicer sides of the ribbon are facing towards each other and pull the knot tight. This step will form a cute V shape.

Varicose Veins During Pregnancy

Not Just a Cosmetic Issue

BY ANGELO SANTOS, MD, VASCULAR SURGEON AT SANFORD VASCULAR ASSOCIATES

s if back aches, nausea or fatigue weren’t enough, another part of pregnancy can be varicose veins. Here’s what you know about this not-so-pretty side effect of being a mom-to-be.

The skin around a varicose vein may also itch, throb or feel like it’s burning. The symptoms tend to be worse at the end of the day, especially if you’ve been on your feet a lot.

What are Varicose Veins?

Are Varicose Veins During Pregnancy Serious?

Varicose veins are large, swollen veins that may bulge near the surface of the skin. These blue or purple veins sometimes look squiggly and are most likely to show up on your legs, though it’s possible to get them in your vulva or elsewhere. Hemorrhoids are actually just varicose veins in the rectal area. Many women first develop varicose veins – or find they get worse – during pregnancy. You may have little or no discomfort from varicose veins, or they may make your legs feel heavy and achy.

Varicose veins can be unsightly, but they’re typically harmless in the short term. Treatment, if needed, can usually be postponed until after you have your baby. However, a small percentage of people with varicose veins develop small blood clots near the skin’s surface (superficial venous thrombosis). When this kind of clot develops, the vein may feel hard and rope-like, and the area around it may become red, hot, tender or painful.

Can I prevent varicose veins in pregnancy? You may be able to prevent, or at least minimize, varicose veins while you’re pregnant if you: • Exercise daily. Even just a brisk walk around the block can improve your circulation. • Stay within the recommended weight range for your stage of pregnancy. • Elevate your feet and legs to the level of your heart or higher whenever possible. Rest your legs on a tall stool or box when you’re sitting, and elevate your feet and legs with pillows when you’re lying down. • Don’t cross your legs or ankles when sitting. • Don’t sit or stand for long periods of time. Take frequent breaks to move around. • You may want to try wearing graduated compression socks or stockings, which are tight at the ankle and get looser as they go up your leg, making it easier for blood to flow back up toward your

heart. As a result, they help prevent swelling and may keep your varicose veins from getting worse.

When Should I Get Help? Call your health care provider if you think you have a blood clot, because this can be serious. Occasionally the area surrounding a clot may become infected. If this happens, you may develop a fever

Boo Who? by Ben Clanton Boo is new. And even if the other kids are welcoming, it can be scary being new, especially for a shy ghost who can’t play any of their games. (“You tagged me? Oh, sorry. I couldn’t feel it.”) Can Boo find a way to fit in and make friends with the rest of the group? From the creator of Rex Wrecks It! comes a funny story about feeling invisible — and finding a way to be seen and appreciated for who you are. Ages 3 yrs - 7 yrs candlewickpress.com

Joe and Sparky, Party Animals! by Jamie Michalak A commotion coming from another part of the famous cageless zoo he calls home. Joined by his small, green, slightly more serious turtle friend, Sparky, Joe discovers the source of the hullabaloo: a group of children — or noisy short people, as Joe and Sparky call them — having a party. Inspired, Joe decides to throw a party for his pet worm, Wiggy. There’s just one problem: Sparky is not entirely sure if Wiggy even exists! What will happen when every animal in the zoo shows up to Wiggy’s party with presents and cake? Worm or no worm, this silly, satisfying tale is sure to leave new readers smiling. Ages 5 yrs - 9 yrs candlewickpress.com

Barnaby Never Forgets by Pierre Collet-Derby Barnaby has a very good memory. He remembers to brush his teeth and feed his grasshoppers, and he always, always remembers when it’s ice-cream night. So how can someone with such a good memory forget something so important? As Barnaby soon finds out, sometimes the thing that’s slipped your mind is right under your nose (or right above it). Lovable, scatterbrained Barnaby will win the hearts of adults and kids alike in Pierre Collet-Derby’s funny and familiar tale of remembering what you’ve forgotten — and learning to laugh at yourself.

CHILDREN’S BOOKS

Boys Dancing From School Gym to Theater Stage by George Ancona Can you emote like an angry pirate from Treasure Island — and even act out a fake swordfight? When four boys join their schools’ dance teams, that’s just one of the numbers being rehearsed for a performance directed by the National Dance Institute of New Mexico, inspired by favorite books such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Where the Wild Things Are, The Thousand and One Nights, and Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Trailing the four enthusiastic dancers is photographer George Ancona, whose copious images capture the infectious spirit of the boys as they learn to dance, act, sing, leap, pretend-fight, change costumes, work hard, and above all, have fun, together with vivacious boys and girls from many other schools. Ages 5 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com

Trees by Lemniscates Trees change through the seasons — springing to life, bearing fruit, and losing their leaves before a period of sleep. They clean the air we breathe, provide seeds and homes for creatures, and extend their shade to everyone equally. Throughout all these changes, trees are constant, patiently learning to grow and flourish wherever they might be. Trees is a reverent and poetic homage that invites the reader to take a closer look at these magnificent beings. A lyrical narrative and lovely, graphic illustrations pay tribute to the beauty and importance of the trees all around us. Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com

I Saw Anaconda by Jane Clarke This romping, rhyming novelty book is full of odd animals and yucky flap reveals. One little boy watches as all sorts of animals are swallowed up by a very hungry anaconda. But if that anaconda swallows a boy, an alligator, a stork, a piranha, a frog, a skunk, and a tick, the question is . . . will she be sick? (Spoiler alert—yes!) One little boy watches as all sorts of animals are swallowed up by a very hungry anaconda. Ages 3 yrs - 7 yrs candlewickpress.com

Bear Make Den by Michael Wagner; Jane Godwin Bear is sitting on the floor of his empty new den when he suddenly notices it’s not quite done. It needs . . . chairs! And a table! But stretched out on his table after a carpentry job well done, Bear realizes his den is still not quite right. . . . Cozy furniture, nice lamps, delicious food, an enticing game — is there anything Bear’s den still needs as he stands alone and surveys his handiwork? Vibrantly colored illustrations make kids feel right at home in this fun-to-read ode to friendship. Ages 4 yrs - 8 yrs candlewickpress.com

Pip and Posy: The New Friend by Axel Scheffler Pip and Posy are having a lovely day at the beach, collecting shells and digging in the sand. But when Posy takes a nap, Pip makes a new friend named Zac. Zac is very cool: he has lots of fun toys and he’s really good at handstands. When Posy wakes up, she finds that Pip is more interested in playing with Zac than with her. A funny and dramatic story about discovering that two’s company and three’s a . . . PARTY! Ages 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com

One Is Not a Pair by Britta Teckentrup Britta Teckentrup, creator of the best-selling The Odd One Out and Where’s the Pair?, returns with another gorgeously illustrated spotting book. In One Is Not a Pair, each patterned page contains a set of pairs . . . but one thing does not match any of the others. Can you find it? Age 2 yrs - 5 yrs candlewickpress.com

Gulliver’s Travels: Voyage to Lilliput by Jonathan Swift In the best-known tale from Jonathan Swift’s classic satire, Lemuel Gulliver survives a shipwreck only to find himself on a strange island with even stranger inhabitants: miniature humans, no bigger than his hand. Gulliver’s adventure on Lilliput has been adapted by award-winning author Martin Jenkins in a witty, accessible retelling that remains faithful to the darkly comic tone of Swift’s original. Beloved by adults and children alike, Gulliver’s first journey is illustrated in brilliant panoramic detail by the masterful Chris Riddell in a wonderfully eccentric complement to the text. First published in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver, Jenkins and Riddell’s Kate Greenaway Medal–winning adaptation of all four tales, Voyage to Lilliput is now available as a standalone volume.
