Longlisted for the 2021 Kate Greenaway Medal'A quiet masterpiece .
. . a love story, a hope story, a story out of time, out of
stricture, out of the narrow artificial bounds by which we try to
contain the wild wonderland of reality because we are too
frightened to live wonder-stricken' Maria Popova, Brain
Pickings'The tales feel like half-remembered dreams, peopled with
fairytale characters and magnificent creatures' Rebecca Armstrong,
i Paper Best Books of 2020'A powerful spell book to make the
sleepless fall into slumber and the agitated calm' i Paper'A
lyrical and enchanting collection' ScotsmanThis book is not meant
to be read from cover to cover. It is a book for dreamers. Slight
of word, rich of image, its purpose is to ease the soul. The
paintings between these covers were worked in the between times, an
unwinding of the soul, when the pressures of work were too much.
Dreams and wishes are the inspiration at times like this. Threaded
through the curious world of The Unwinding are words, slight and
lyrical. Their aim is to set the reader's mind adrift from the
troubles of our times, into peaceful harbours where imagination can
stretch, where quiet reflection can bring peace. The Unwinding is
designed to be a companion, a talisman to be turned to again and
again and a place of respite from an increasingly frantic and
complex world.
