Particularly amusing were "I Like to Play With Dolls," a quasi-ballad sung by Jed Eyenite, with its hero's admission that whenever there are brawls, "I'll be skipping 'round my garden, twirling parasols"; "Stick Out Your Chest," an ensemble number with lines like "You gotta pucker your lips,/ Throw out your tush,/ And shake your hips...

And now, like Smilla before him, the boy finds himself trying to make a new life in Copenhagen, which to them is hardly the Danny Kaye song's "friendly old girl of a town." August makes us see it as dark and claustrophobic, stressing its contrast to the bright and limitless horizons of the land, essentially untouched by modern civilization, where they were born...
