Wallace Edwards – författare

An alphabet book like no other from the unique imagination of Wallace Edwards, now reissued for a new generation of readers.

This new edition of the Governor General’s Award–winning Alphabeasts celebrates the weirdly wonderful imagination of a beloved Canadian artist, the late Wallace Edwards. A new generation of young readers (and adults) will delight in this truly extraordinary alphabet book, discovering animals from A to Z living together in an old Victorian mansion. There’s an elephant in the ballroom playing with a model train, an octopus hanging from the foyer chandelier – and even a zebra enjoying a soak in the bathtub!

Using watercolors and colored pencils in his inimitable style, Wallace Edwards created a bizarre and luxurious world rich in color and texture, with details that readers will pore over. Timeless and engaging, this witty and surreal mix of art and alphabet book is a true gift for those discovering it for the first time.
