A is for Adultery/Angst/Adults Only - Tapa dura

Attention adults. Announcing a new book - a very personal book, in fact a decidedly quirky book - from Sara Midda, renowned artist of singular talent and author of IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN, SARA MIDDA'S BABY BOOK, GROWING UP AND OTHER VICES, together with more than 500,000 copies in print. Beguiling and whimsical and enigmatic. A IS FOR ADULTERY is an alphabetical entertainment for grown-ups. Each spread considers a letter, weaving words through dazzling miniature and vignettes. Some words are obvious; some hidden. (Some naughty). It is a great pleasure to look, even more so to seek. C is for crayon, crotch, claustrophobia, M for melon, masochist, melancholy and man. Filled with charming little figures and painted with Midda's exquisite watercolour wash, here is a rare and wonderful marriage of humour and beauty - a treasure of fine things that is both a gift and a game.
