Are you a Harry Potter fan? Adored the branch-off of Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them? Here is a Malaysian version with some true facts interspersed in each of the fantastical flora and fauna depicted.
The prose of this book is eveocative, and its rich descriptions leave a lingering presence long after reading. The linoprint and pattern illustrations will definitely pull you in to be appreciated time and again.
Malaysian folklore and iconographies are brought to life - exquisitely rendered, making references to woodcut, shadow play and the like. It is playfully entertaining, a wonderful blend of form and context.
This is one locally written book that shines bright among Malaysia's many works of literature. Highly recommended by me for an exquisite read, use this MCO period to consume this book in heart and mind. Flatten the curve and stay safe at home!
