I’d never heard of this story, but was intrigued by the description, both of the tale and of the various elements involved in creating it.
It may be a slim volume, but sometimes special things come in small packages.
The story was moving, thought-provoking and simply but beautifully told.
The book is also a thing of beauty, from the bindings, the wonderful frontispiece illustration, and even the choice of paper and font - all aspects coming together to create a truly lovely volume that I will very much enjoy having in my collection, and re-reading periodically.
This is a stunning book and, despite it's small size, packs a big whallop visually and emotionally. The production value is gorgeous and after reading the story for the first time I can see why it got the star treatment.
Brilliant
This is such a beautiful and well-made book. The marbled papers are special and the book cloth is exceptional. I can hardly wait for more editions of short stories from the press.
Whoever said great things come in small packages must have been thinking about this book! For its size, this edition is everything you’d want: beautiful binding with marbled paper and lovely book cloth, excellent story with illustration, and signed by the author. And you can’t beat the price.
