Winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2020
A stunningly presented collection of twenty-five illustrated short stories exploring the relationship between humans and animals,from award-winning visual storyteller Shaun Tan.
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 crocodile to frog; tiger to bee,this is a dark and surreal exploration of the perennial love and destruction we feel and inflict - of how animals can save us,and how we are entwined,for better or for worse. Tales from the Inner City is a truly masterly work,bearing all of Shaun Tan's trademark wit and poignancy in both its prose and exquisite illustrations.
