📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books

To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.

The Cave of Drawings — He has been following a wounded deer for two days into the limestone hills above the river when he finds the cave — not the bear's cave or the hunting shelter, but one he has never entered, at the back of a passage too small for bears. What he finds inside is not what the caves are for. Someone was here before him, in a place no one comes, and left something on the wall that was made to be seen.

  • Original classical short story (complete text)
  • Notes on historical setting and literary tradition
