Children's Book - THE GOLDEN DREAM

The Golden Dream is freely inspired by the legend of Midas, king of Phrygia, illustrating the madness to which greed can lead. Nourished by their travels in Iran, the authors moved the framework of the tale further east to place it in the poetic world of Persian miniatures. The Simurgh, a fabulous bird, replaces Dionysos. Delicately arranged plant profusion, architectural complexity, refinement of decorative motifs blurred by the play of perspective, pay homage to the beauty of Persian gardens and palaces by evoking an uncertain world conducive to daydreaming. This book is once again a real success, perfectly combining narration, illustrations and sophisticated mechanisms. Author: DOMINIQUE EHRHARD AND ANNE-FLORENCE LEMASSON
