The Saul Bass illustrated classic children's story about a boy who sets out to find a more exciting place to live, and finds it.
Henri's Walk to Paris is the story of a young boy who lives in Reboul, France, who dreams of going to Paris to live a more exciting life. One day, after reading a book about Paris, he decides to pack a lunch and head for the city.
Along the way, Henri gets tired and falls asleep under a tree. And this is when the story takes flight. What Henri sees, we see, in a flowing panorama of pictures conceived by the eminent graphic designer Saul Bass.
Originally published in 1962, Saul Bass's only children's book provides a colourful, romantic, and unique story via the clever graphic strokes and iconic look of the master designer.
Used copy in good condition, some slight surface marks on dust jacket, otherwise excellent condition. This is the out-of-print 2012 reissue edition of the hard-to-find 1962 original.
