complemented by luminous illustrations. Landscapes filling a double

Smaller illustrations of the protagonists, objects and wild life
embellish the pages like medieval manuscripts and offer moments for
thought. This new telling brings fresh insights to a profound and
ancient story. It is a book to treasure and will delight mature
young readers, and older ones too.'
