New Releases by Tomi Ungerer

Story of three robbers who spent their loot on a castle for sad or abandoned children.

Tomi Ungerer a tous les talents. On connaissait le dessinateur, l''artiste, le collectionneur, l''auteur de livres pour enfants, on découvre maintenant l''écrivain. " J''ai de la fuite dans les idées ", confie-t-il volontiers. Afin de remédier à cet état de fait, il a toujours sur lui des petits carnets noirs sur lesquels il note au jour le jour ses pensées et autres saillies. Il est atteint de " la maladie française des aphorismes ", une affection aux conséquences bénéfiques pour ses contemporains. Les trouvailles réunies ici sur l''art, les femmes, la société, l''Histoire, la littérature ou l''Alsace, sont dignes d''un Jules Renard ou d''un Alphonse Allais. Par leur profondeur, leur légèreté, leur humour constant, elles situent immédiatement Tomi Ungerer au niveau des maîtres du genre.

"In the early 1970s Tomi Ungerer, the artist and children''s storyteller, moved with his wife Yvonne to a farmstead on the wild Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. For several years he lived there a life of self-sufficiency, painting, writing, sculpting; and also learning, with Yvonne, to be a farmer, a herdsman and, where necessary, a butcher. This is a record, in vivid words and enchanting pictures, of the years they spent there; observing the wild animals, their own domestic flock and the lives of the dour, hardy neighbors in the small town of Gull Harbor. The result is an extraordinary record and a revelation."--Back cover
