Welcome to Litsy!

After gushing over the illustrations, my boss sent me home with this book. This is a modern folk tale about a girl who wants her fisherman father to have light during the new moon. The dark text on black background is too hard to read—especially in a dim bedtime situation. So, fine, just look at the pictures.

Such beautiful illustrations!

I bought this book 'for my daughter' - meaning I totally bought it for myself! It is absolutely gorgeous. The artwork is just stunning - golds, yellows, browns and white on dark backgrounds. It's the sort of book you pick up in a bookshop & can't leave without. Haven't even read the story but I'm just in love with it anyway - it really is a volume to treasure.
