Feeding my amazon addiction, cruising books, sneaky-peeking into whatever takes my fancy, I found this book by Shaun Tan. I was looking for The Red Tree and I ended up buying this as well. It turned out Rick had already bought us The Lost Thing a few weeks ago and I'd read it to Eddy, thinking it beautifully strange.
It's a collection of stories, illustrated in various styles but all with his weird charm and deep feeling. The story called Undertow just broke my heart.

His illustrations are featured in another favourite book of mine, Playpen: New Children's Book Illustration by Martin Salisbury.
