More Description

With over 100 illustrations, this graphic novel is a dazzling feast for both the eye and the mind. The story Witches and Fish treads 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 the quest of a boy for an Oz-like sky city. On his adventure, the boy changes into a man - and then into something else altogether. Finally, his journey ends with the perfect (if unexpected) twist.The story has a fascinating collection of secondary plots woven throughout. And with its odd perspective and unexpected twists and turns, it's a tale that quickly captivates the reader with breath-taking pictures providing 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 in oral tradition's clothing, both amusing and apocryphal, unfolding into a one-of-a-kind tale you'll want to share and explore time and again.
