A propos de cet article

First edition, first impression with full number line. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLUE PEN, ON TITLE PAGE 'To Annie - Philip Pullman'. Illustrated boards, no jacket as issued. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of covers and spine, corners extremely slightly rubbed, price on back cover (£20.00). no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unopened, unread. 480pp. In over 30 essays, written over 20 years, one of the world's great story tellers meditates on story telling. Warm, funny, generous, entertaining and above all, deeply considered, they offer thoughts on a wide variety of topics, including the origin and composition of Philip's own stories, the craft of writing and the story tellers who have meant the most to Philip. The art of story telling is everywhere present in the essays themselves, in the instantly engaging tone, the vivid imagery and striking phrases, the resonant anecdotes, the humour and learnedness. Together they are greater than the sum of their parts, a single, sustained engagement with story and story telling. Scarce signed. N° de réf. du vendeur 010085
