Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing. Unpaginated [pp. 30]. Slim 4to. Pictorial boards. Richly illustrated throughout by Gál. Bright, clean, and unmarked with tight, sound binding; near fine and housed in near fine lightly rubbed dustjacket. SIGNED, and inscribed by the author to the ffep. Tiktala is a literary fairy tale, a… tale of transformation on many levels. As simple as it seems, it touches upon such complex themes as the evolution of an artist, ties to tradition, ecological awarness, and coming of age. Tiktala's journey will not soon be forgotten because it is the journey we each must take in search of who we are.

Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing. pp. 32. Slim small 4to. Publisher's teal cloth over boards, gilt lettering to the spine. Gorgeously illustrated with Laszlo's imaginative, evocative, and colourful artwork. Exceptionally well-preserved with no detectable flaws to the cloth extremities, neat ink name to the corner of the…ffep, else, contents equally without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked pages and firm, sound binding; near fine and housed in near fine lightly rubbed, unclipped, dustjacket (now housed in protective mylar cover). Overall, near fine. A lovely copy through-and-through. Scarce in commerce in this edition, and state. This is the story of Jacques Cartier, the famous sixteenth-century French navigator, and his three voyages of discovery to North America: in 1534, when he explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence in search of a passage to Asia, and in 1535 and 1541 when he sailed up the St. Lawrence River. Based on the journal of voyages and containing many extracts from it, the book descrives not only Cartier's considerable achievement, but also the hardships of the undertaking, the cold and disease, and the encounters - not always amicable - with the Indians who lived along the river. William Toye's account is simple and straightforward, but brings to life for English readers the colour incidents of the first momentous penetration of the great river and the North American interior, and the characters of the men who did it. Laszlo Gal's large, imaginative, and richly coloured illustrations convey too the sense of life and adventure underlying Cartier's great undertaking.
