A Prussian at Little Big Horn

Shards of Time, an illustrated book series, reflects over forty years of research, writing and drawing. The ideas are a product of the upbringing and education of Marc Aldrich. His mother was an artist and her early gifts to Marc were a love of Shakespeare, Poe, Dickens, and the Bible. Degrees in English, History, Library Science, Interior Design, and Theater help to inform the work.  As the librarian at a maximum-security prison, he directed a prisoner theater group for ten years. In 2010, Marc worked with Kenneth Lundquist Jr. owner of Wulflynx Studios, a consulting and production company, to produce a video of one of the episodes that included all illustration, panels, music, and actors’ voices.  In that same year, Ken and Marc mentored two students from Newtown High school in a job shadowing project that lasted eight weeks and produced an educational companion video that discussed visual quotation in Shards of Time.
