From inside the books
The Art
Every volume is illustrated throughout. The early books are kept as recovered field journals — aged paper, marginalia, plates pinned in place. The later books shift to graphite, closer in and quieter, as the story moves indoors and the extraordinary starts happening in kitchens and classrooms.
A selection of thirty plates from more than two hundred across the saga.

The illustrations were made to sit inside the text, not beside it. Book One is where they begin.
