20052197086Joanna Cottler Books / Harper Collins 2005. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Aviram Einar. Signed by author. First edition. Signed by author without inscription on title page. 2005 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. Unpaginated. "Everyone loves Leopold who holds court at the Leipzig zoo on Sunday afternoons and tells fantastic tales of faraway places. One day a learned professor comes to town and gives a lecture on the real places he has been. Everyone is bored and either leaves or falls asleep. The indignant Doctor Morgenfresser shouts Your Leopold is a liar! and has him hauled off to jail. On trial the man explains that he never claimed any of it actually happened the people declare him Leopold the Storyteller and he is released to tell his stories to the children of the village. While Leopold's alliterative tales are mildly entertaining the moral is heavy-handed. The thickly painted woodblock-style artwork which is reminiscent of Chagall's bright colors and angular slightly floating characters is interesting and fits the style and location of the story well. Aviram does a nice job of contrasting the scenes of Leopold's imprisonment and trial with his stories by using drab colors for the former and bright jewel tones for the latter." - School Library Journal Joanna Cottler Books / Harper Collins hardcover books

Illus. b/w plates. Unique binding on Limited edition this being Artist Proof 3 <br/><br/>"The inspiration for this text came during fish trips Alan James Robinson took during college in where he would often see roadkill on the side of the road. These animal deaths became the haunting wood engravings inside the text which are paired with prose and poetry about roadkill. <br />I wanted to highlight one of the animals from the text on the cover of the binding. I chose the coyote because I was captured by the angle showcasing its long lanky legs. The coyote is set against a hand-dyed background made to resemble gravel and the outline of a river in the area where Robinson attended college. The river is embroidered over a range of different animal leathers plus handmade paper." artist statement Cheloniidae Press hardcover books
