The Flower
Written by John Light

Brigg lives in a small grey room in a large grey city. When he

brings brightness and beauty to the inhabitants of his previously dull
and dismal city.
An enigmatic and haunting story, beautifully and mysteriously
illustrated.

The Flower
John Light
In a grey city without
flowers, Brigg finds a
packet
of seeds ...
"An allegorical tale
with slight Orwellian
undertones... There is more than a touch of genius at work in these ...
illustrated pages, for they are imbued with characteristic simplicity
of
detail, yet have such tremendous aesthetic appeal. The storyline has a
pleasing cadence, too. ... a charming and inspired storybook not to be
missed."
