A New York Times Best Illustrated Book
Hailed by Entertainment Weekly and the Wall Street Journal as a best book of the year, this gorgeous and imaginative storypart picture book, part graphic novelis utterly transporting and original. USA Today declared it a compelling and melancholy debut from an important new talent as well as an expansive and ageless book full of wonder, sadness, and wild bursts of imagination. And like Shaun Tan’s The Arrival and Raymond Briggs’s The Snowman, it is quickly becoming a modern classic.
A little girllost and alonefollows a mysterious stag deep into the woods, and, like Alice down the rabbit hole, she finds herself in a strange and wondrous world. But… home and family are very far away. How will she get back there?
In this magnificently illustratedand wordlessmasterpiece, debut artist Guojing brilliantly captures the rich and deeply-felt emotional life of a child, filled with loneliness and longing as well as love and joy.
