‘Little World' is the brief, transporting story of a young saint
Josephine Rowe's 'Little World' is a strange little book about the corpse of a strange little saint.
The body arrives in the Australian desert sometime after World War II, a bequest sent to a solitary man named Orrin Bird by an old friend, a guilt-stricken expatriate Norwegian who had held onto the saint's remains for a quarter-century.
