ANNO'S JOURNEY

First UK edition, first printing. Original laminated pictorial boards. Issued without a dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in colour by Mitsumana Anno. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the spine faded and the lower board with a production crease to the laminate. The contents are clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions.

A wordless picture book in which a character on a horse moves through many expansive, detailed landscapes filled with interesting characters and hidden stories, many referencing art, folklore and cultural traditions, inspired by Mitsumasa Anno's travels in Europe.
