A Kyrgyz postage stamp from the 1995 Fauna of Kyrgyzstan series illustrated by A. Kongurbaev. The animal portrayed here is Menzbier’s Marmot. It represents author Elijah because they both prefer wetter areas at a higher altitude and with shorter grass.

Adriane is a freelance writer, radio programmer, PhD student, and reluctant cellist. She was once quoted in the Wall Street Journal as an expert on KFC’s Colonel Sanders.
