| This is the second version of Hyke. My 1987 video recorded its creation, and it will be officially introduced when the video is premiered. Hyke is at ease on a large poison ivy log. He feels that there is nothing in the forest that cannot be put to good use. When he leans back and holds his knees with his clasped hands, you know that a tale is about to begin, usually with the words, “Now, when I was knee-high to a chipmunk…” Hyke is the nickname of this old bachelor who lives on Cairn Ridge. He is quite at ease on a log of poison ivy. His coat is Tyrolean and his leaf cap hides him when he jumps into a pile of leaves. He lives in an ancient tree, which is mostly hollow and is insulated with duck feathers. He feels there is nothing in the forest that cannot be put to good use. When he leans back and holds his knees, you know that a tale is about to begin. |
