Su questo libro

Recensione:

One of the finest and most original writers at work today."--The New Yorker

"It's hardly a new theme: a child finds himself in a new world where each day offers yet another fantastic experience.  Eventually, however, the child yearns for the familiarity of home.  In the hands of the incomparable Burningham, this familiar story takes on new depth and poignancy while never losing the giddy appeal of adventure. Astunning book...It promises to resonate with readers of all ages."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
From the Trade Paperback edition.

L'autore:

*  Works in the basement of his house in London on an old boardroom table, which came from The Monkey Club, a school for debutantes in Kensington, and is littered with pens, pencils, paints, papers and rough drawings.

* When he's not working on a book, he loves collecting -- furniture, statues, staircases, and old curtains.  He travels around England and France looking for unusual things to put in his house or to sell to someone else.

* Marks the day with things to look forward to -- a large mug of good strong coffee to start the day, lunch, when his wife, children's book writer and illustrator Helen Oxenbury and John can discuss their work or just have a general chat; and at around six o'clock, a drink of delicious red wine, preferably French (wine is another one of his interests).
