Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

Striking, surreal illustrations and a haunting, evocative text tell a mysterious tale of a threatened natural world —- and a hopeful new start.

Once, the only sounds to be heard were the buzzing of bees in the grass, the murmuring of moles in the earth, and the song of birds in the sky. These warmed the hearts of those who cared to listen —- until the others came to fill the sky with buildings and the air with a cacophony of noise. With dramatically lit artwork and a spare, intriguing text, Varmints tells of a pastoral world in need of protection and of the souls who love it enough to ensure its regeneration. Includes vellum pages and French flaps as part of a gorgeous paperback design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly beautiful, Sep 5 2008
By Colleen E. Shea "pamphilia" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very simple text and incredibly beautiful artwork make this one a keeper. It took me 15 minutes to read it but it's something to go back to again and again. I wish it had been written when I was a child - I'm sure I'd have spent the following years dreaming constantly of it.
