COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Mature Magic submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 29, 2014, 8:56am This is a picture book ornate, unconventional, philosophical, and engaging. Any adult interested in experimental or graphic storytelling will appreciate the intricate illustrations and deliberately twisting lettering. It's magical realism in a memoir, a vast experience in a modest box. It will make you consider picking up more "children's picture books" to see if there are more like it - not that I have found anything that compares directly to this, but it was a surprising, rewarding find that branched out my adult reading list, and continues to inspire me artistically.
