Description
Eerie and unsettling, yet hauntingly beautiful, this collaboration from Robert Macfarlane and Stanley Donwood is a unique blend of word and image that explores the boundaries of storytelling. A figure, known as The Armourer, is leading a ritual on a salt-and-shingle island, but something is coming to stop him. Five mysterious forms are converging on the island, each with their own distinct characteristics, and the outcome is far from certain. Part-novella, part-prose-poem, and part-mystery play, Ness combines the skills of its creators to create a minor modern myth. The result is a work that is both dazzling and troubling, inviting the reader to consider what happens when land comes to life. With its unique blend of language and image, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the boundaries of storytelling.
