Tales from the Inner City [Hardcover]

Tales from the Inner Cityis a collection of incredibly original stories, rich with feeling, strangely moving, almost numinous. And when the reader comes to the artwork, its like walking into an amazing room, and then throwing open a curtain to see a brilliant scene that makes you understand and appreciate everything youve encountered in a deeper way.

The visionary Shaun Tan returns to show us the soul-opening work hes been doing for the past five years.
