Product Description
Ingram
A spectacular new pop-up from the creator of Griffin & Sabine. Readers of all ages have been intrigued and delighted by Nick Bantock's gift books. Now Bantock's legendary artwork attains new lyrical expression as he translates Coleridge's classic, opium-inspired poem into exquisite and phantasmagoric pop-up constructions. 6 pop-ups.

What fun!,
By miss fortune (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kubla Khan (Hardcover)
I was lucky enough to find a 'new' copy of this book. It is wonderfully and appropriately illustrated, though not necessarily for children. I recommend this to fans of Coleridge, and to fans of eclectic books in general.

Pop-up book for grown-ups.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kubla Khan (Hardcover)
All right, you may not be terribly fond of Coleridge.
Or you may think he was a poet-god.
In either case, I recommend this pop-up version of
the "drugged-out classic" (as a prof. of mine once
called it) to everyone over the age of, say, 17.
Bantock's imaginative use of the familiar pop-up genre,
as well as his distinctive art style, accentuate the
poetry perfectly.
I'm still kicking myself for not buying that beaten-up
copy I found in New York. This is definitely worth
the search.

Beautiful!,
By Amy Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kubla Khan (Hardcover)
This little piece of art is beautifully illustrated with incredible paper engineering for the pop-ups. I was lucky enough to find it years ago in a used book store, still in almost-new condition, and I'm still enjoying it today. I have other pop-ups by Nick Bantock - the jabberwocky and the old lady who swallowed a fly - and they are all amazingly done, but this one is my favorite.
