商品簡介
Two little girls — Malashka and Akulka — are playing together happily one day, when they get into a disagreement... and before you know it, the entire village is involved! Adapted from a poetic short story by the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, this astute tale about conflict and resolution is illustrated with Iino-cut art by Lebanese printmaker Hassan Zahreddine. The illustrations in this book were originally etched onto linoleum, then turned into plates and printed on a letterpress machine on handmade paper. We chose this method of printing because it mirrors the linocut process, and evokes the classical look and feel of books during Tolstoy’s time. Further, the unhurried printing process matches the gentle and creative rhythms of children’s playtime, which Tolstoy contrasts with the haste and anger of the adult world.
