Description
A fantastical and deeply imaginative picture book. A boy lives alone at the End of the World, hunting for treasure with old maps and playing ball. It's a peaceful, contemplative life, and the boy is content. Until, that is, a self-styled Professional Visionary arrives and puts up a billboard: CONSTANTINE SHIMMER'S GALVANO-MAGICAL END OF THE WORLD TOURS. FUN ALL THE TIME!; M. T. Anderson's lyric homage to simplicity and self-reliance is brought to life in arresting and vivid detail by Kevin Hawkes' masterful illustrations.
