"some years ago we had a foreign exchange student come to live with us. We found it very difficult to pronounce his name correctly, but he didn't mind"
What a delightful combination of words and images this is.The image of the water buffalo is perfection. The story of Eric, the exchange student, pure bliss. This is a book that will tickle your insides and make you smile because you've witnessed something beautiful.
The Guardian has some of the beautiful illustrations on the web: here.
Imagine the strange tales your parents made up to send you to sleep. Little snippets of fantasy, combined with gorgeous illustrations and maybe you'll land somewhere in the vicinity.
5 out of 5 - art and fiction combine for the sublime.
