The Dulcimer Boy is a charming historical novel by Tor Seidler, beautifully illustrated by David Hockney. The story follows twin brothers, William and Jules, who are abandoned on their uncle’s doorstep in turn-of-the-century New England, with nothing but a silver-stringed dulcimer. The book blends themes of music, family, and destiny in an engaging fable-like narrative. Hockney’s delicate pen-and-ink illustrations add a unique visual charm to this classic story.
