Book of a day
Prince Silencio by Anne Herbauts. I feel I need to write something about it, but not today.
She compares the making of a book with construction of a railroad: "It is the narrative thread: it puts the rails, then let the reader choose the train. I start from the railway to see the space that I have to travel, locate the beginning and end, rhythm, speed up or slow down when I want".

Flora, I didn't find Alice on ebay, it's the only reason I don't have it. Going to try some other ways. It's awesome!
Giulia, thank you:) And thank you for the link. His works are really good. Simple and funny.

Oh I just love this illustrator! I would stay hours in bookshops admiring her version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland... (http://jeunesse.casterman.com/docs/Albums/15801/9782203565180.jpg)
Thanks for reminding me of her :)
