## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Creative Gem
*by Y***D on October 12, 2018*

Tales from the Inner City is a gorgeously written and illustrated volume featuring Shaun Tan’s paintings and drawings, one that invites the reader into a wildly imaginative, surreal world. It explores the mysteries and wonders of the natural world, one that humans may never fully comprehend. In the world Tan creates, there are crocodiles living on the 87th floor of a skyscraper, pigs stranded in apartment backrooms, moonfish swimming the night skies, eagles hunting in airports, and a rooftop tree that blooms briefly once in a lifetime, among other stories. The artwork is luminous, the writing, lyrical. What the reader will discover in this latest offering by this amazing artist/author is a genuinely unconventional, exceptionally imaginative, and poetically presented world. Tales from the Inner City is a true gem and creative wonder in its own right, and a book that is well worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get this book.
*by A***R on December 31, 2018*

I have never written a review. I'll make this short. Get this damn book. I'm stunned/shocked from how beautiful it is. His artwork alone, brought me to tears. I did not expect anything from this book, bought it on a whim. There is something here that I can't describe. Maybe, its just pure heart mixed with talent. I'm tempted to drain my entire bank account on this author. Just amazing. So, if you where once like me, trying to siphon through reviews...stop. Get this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In this case you CAN judge a book by it's cover!
*by P***L on September 22, 2019*

This book is beautiful and amazing. The stories and art are deeply moving. You will be transported to another world that is still very much of this one. Shaun Tan has put the intangible into words and images. Brilliant. Poetic. Lyrical. Simultaneously real and surreal.
