Spectacular find, Falk!

Congratulations to Miss Martina!

This book is so obviously lovingly created and thought through! It's BRILLIANT!

Each spread, seems to include charming and delightful uses of paper tricks, some outright enchanting like the peeks inside the rooms and wagons!

The circus performers effects were especially stunning I thought! But even just the simple facial expression tricks on the marvelous illustration at the end were remarkable.

In this book preview I saw many examples of the rare kind of magic that only great illustration, concept, and engineering can hope to achieve.

Brava! I'd love to one day add this book to my collection.
