A stunningly presented modern-day fable from world-renowned talent Oliver Jeffers.

“In an age of exquisite picture books, this is possibly the most beautiful of the year…” Imogen Carter / The Observer New Review

There was once a man who believed he owned everything and set out to survey what was his.

Working for the first time in traditional lithography, world-renowned talent, Oliver Jeffers, combines spectacular art with powerful prose, hand set using traditional lead type, to create a poignant modern-day fable to touch the hearts of adults and children alike.
