Picture book about adventures for children from 8 years old.
An unusual picture book — not for the little ones, but for those who are older. Vegelius, a writer and artist from Sweden, says that as a child he loved to listen to his mother read aloud, and always drew during this time. Now he himself composes twisted plots, combining them with amazing, painstakingly drawn out, stylized antique pictures. Here is one of his stories — about the gorilla Sally Jones — with chases, thefts, shipwrecks, love, betrayal, wandering … and a happy ending.
Translation from Swedish by Irina Smirenskaya.
