Where can we live if not in each other's shadow? World-renowned artist Shaun
Tan applies his extraordinary talent to a reflection on the nature of humans
and animals, and our urban co-existence. From animals as disparate as
crocodiles, tigers, bees and whales, this is a dark and surreal exploration of
the perennial love we feel and destruction we inflict – and shows how animals,
whether domestic, feral or really wild, can save us, and how we are entwined,

bearing all of Shaun Tan’s trademark wit and poignancy in both its prose and
exquisite illustrations. Read more
