A truly remarkable work of art that is already one of the most talked-about books of the season. "Tan's lovingly laid out and masterfully rendered tale about the immigrant experience is a documentary magically told". Art Spiegelman, author of Maus "An absolute wonder". Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis "A magical river of strangers and their stories " Craig Thompson, author of Blankets "A shockingly imaginative graphic novel that captures the sense of adventure and wonder that surrounds a new arrival on the shores of a shining new city. Wordless, but with perfect narrative flow, Tan gives us a story filled with cityscapes worthy of Winsor McCay". Jeff Smith, author of Bone "Shaun Tan's artwork creates a fantastical, hauntingly familiar atmosphere. Strange, moving and beautiful". Jon J. Muth, Caldecott Medal-winning author of Zen Shorts "Bravo". Brian Selznick, Caldecott Medal-winning author of The Invention of Hugo Cabret "Magnificent". David Small, Caldecott Medalist.
