Castles

Castles

Summary

In this fantastical world there are castles in space, floating castles, castles in the sky and castles made of glass. Each one hides a royal family and there are all the usual mazes, puzzles tricks and messages waiting to be discovered. Colin Thompson's wonderfully detailed artwork reaches new heights of ingenuity and invention in this brilliant new book.

Reviews

  • Unconstrainedly escapist. Thompson is a one-off, a wit, a virtuoso. His collection of imaginary "castles" is a surreal treat
