The Tyger Voyage by Richard Adams

The Tyger Voyage by Richard Adams

A gentleman tyger and his son set sail from Victorian England into the timeless unknown. Together they roam across the seas, through jungles, past ice-covered mountains and erupting volcanoes and many more unexpected hazards along the way. 'Bayley is a brilliant artist whose pictures glow like Medieval manuscripts.' Alison Lurie, The New York Times

"Bayley's pictures are characteristically painstaking and gentle, softly lit, finely worked and pretty" * Sunday Times *
"The pictures are full of fascinating details, and her tigers are beautiful sensuous creatures." * Daily Telegraph *
"Gorgeous." * Evening Standard *
"Lively narrative ballad." * The Observer *
"Full of charm and detail, there are elements of Rousseau and Dali and woodcuts and the Books of Hours." * Times Literary Supplement *
