Witches and Fish: A Parable of Dreams is a dazzling feast for both the eye and the mind, treading strange worlds where fish sing siren songs, a magic key unlocks doorways in the sky, and those too proud or too slow are transformed into piles of rust — or worse.
Nothing is quite what it seems in this visionary saga that starts with an odd account of creation, transitions to a pivotal moment of childhood kindness (that transforms a crow into a witch), and then follows a boy who becomes a man -- and then something else altogether. Finally, his journey ends with a perfect (if unexpected) twist.
Over 100, breath-taking illustrations provide the perfect counterpoint to the sparse yet witty text, creating a dreamlike narrative Lewis Carroll (or Carl Jung) would have appreciated.
Witches and Fish is an oddly sophisticated story disguised in simple clothing. It's both amusing and amazing as it unfolds into a one-of-a-kind tale you'll want to explore time and again. ...More >< Less
