Description

A fisherman and a fishmonger, a slave and a goddess, a princess and a werewolf... Each figure is juxtaposed with another on the opposite page. These relationships are often funny and surprising; sometimes the connection is obvious, other times it takes a bit of thinking.

"With its 208 pages, this is not your average picture book. Instead, its a unique reflection on the similarities and differences among people from all walks of life"

"Each charmingly matte and papery double-page spread features a full-bleed illustrated vignette that captures the human condition in its diversity, richness and paradoxes "
