This was a very cute, sweet Faustian tale of a man going back in time to save his wife from making a deal with a demon after the birth of their son renders her unconscious.

I don't know if it's just because my biological clock's been ticking lately, but the premise of this story and its ending both really got to me. The story's relatively simplistic -- sort of a twist on the Gift of the Magi, it seems -- but it really struck a chord with me. The art throughout is phenomenal.

I was so drawn in by the story and art, it felt like a shock when the ending came so abruptly. I wish the book was longer! Great 90s setting and lovely painting.
