Customer Reviews

Interesting vision for a "children's book"

Don't kid yourself, this book is supposed to be for children but you'll find that adults are just as fascinated. An odd story with beautifully painted illustrations. You'll find it migrating away from you child's shelf and onto yours. Well worth a look and definately not your typical kid's book.
