城中故事

This stunning paperback edition of the 2020 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal winner collects twenty-five illustrated short stories exploring the relationship between humans and animals, by award-winning visual storyteller Shaun Tan.

Where else would we live but in each other's shadows?

World-renowned artist Shaun Tan brings his extraordinary talents to a reflection on the nature of human and animal, and our urban coexistence. From crocodiles and tigers, to bees and whales, this is a dark and surreal exploration of the love we constantly feel, and the destruction we wreak - and how animals, whether domestic, feral or truly wild, can save us, and how we are intertwined, for better or worse. A truly outstanding work, Tales from the Inner City carries all Shaun Tan's trademark wit and pathos, both in prose and in exquisite illustration.
