The Adventures of Mr Marigold (Hardcover)

The Adventures of Mr Marigold, Michael Tobias's 30th book, a modest tale, is nearest in nuance and thinking to the Middle Ages' voyage extraordinaire genre, to utopian realism of the Renaissance, and to 1930s French existentialism. Tobias, who in addition to his many other books, has also written, directed and/or produced over 100 films. He is an internationally-renowned author and ecologist and has worked in over 50 countries. However, he feels most poetically at home in New Zealand, where his long-time friendship with Craig Potton - many of whose photographs illustrate the novel - has blossomed into this stunning collaboration.
