His walls are lined with books like Out in the Silver West, The Boys' Boo k of Pirates, and Executive Opportunities, which provide fodder for his rumin ations on career change. Encouraged by his wife, who is also eager to incorporat e more adventure into her life, Jim sets out to bring these dreams to fruition b y accumulating various accoutrements, only to discover that the life of an execu tive, an artist, or a cowboy is more complicated and costly than it appears. Jim's childlike understanding of the world that surrounds him is enhanced by Ra ymond Briggs's subtle and inventive illustrations.
