My grandmother bought it for me (much to my mother’s consternation) when I was in primary school and, while I enjoyed it then, I love it now. Like the works of Shaun Tan, an Australian illustrator, it is one of those books that works for children and thoroughly works for adults. Very funny, very provocative, and very charming.

I discovered it when I was at uni and it’s been a favorite ever since. I managed to transmit an appreciation of it to my kids when they were in their teens. I think it’s more adult than child humor.
