This is a visually impressive book with heavy leather cover and gold lettering. It gave me the sense of something precious within, and I was happy to find that it was true! Craig Thompson brings the same poignant vulnerability to these exotic fictional characters that we saw in his earlier book, Blankets. The contrast between the harsh realities of child abuse and human bondage with sublime art and scriptural quotation leaves the reader fully stupefied with the incredible discrepancies of our world. It's a good story too.
