The Encyclopedia of Early Earth
Isabel Greenberg, 2013, Little Brown & Co, 9780316225816, 176 pages, hardcover.
Very good, pages clean, binding tight, cover clean with small scratch.
A beautifully illustrated book of imaginary fables about Earth's early -- and lost -- history.
Before our history began, another -- now forgotten -- civilization thrived. The people who roamed Early Earth were much like curious, emotional, funny, ambitious, and vulnerable. In this series of illustrated and linked tales, Isabel Greenberg chronicles the explorations of a young man as he paddles from his home in the North Pole to the South Pole. There, he meets his true love, but their romance is ill-fated. Early Earth's unusual and finicky polarity means the lovers can never touch.
As intricate and richly imagined as the work of Chris Ware, and leavened with a dry wit that rivals Kate Beaton's in Hark! A Vagrant , Isabel Greenberg's debut will be a welcome addition to the thriving graphic novel genre.
