Product Information

While we are now nesting inside to #stopthespread many are taking actions to develop new skills and creativity from the safety of our homes. This book could be a key resource for you if you’re a lover of the outdoors and have thought about brushing up on your practical skills for when we’re able to once again freely roam the world! Quando ero bambina mica li trovavo dei libri così belli, così riccamente illustrati e interessanti come questo. Adesso la divulgazione scientifica per ragazzi è diventata accattivante, ha un’impaginazione fantasiosa, è una gioia per gli occhi oltre a dare informazioni utili. So, a little bit about me: I am an urban dweller and perhaps not the most adventurous. However, I would love to have been the (unknown) author of this absolutely gorgeous book. She appears to have been fearless, resourceful, interested in all the world has to offer and yes, a good writer and a marvelous illustrator. You'll be transported by riveting adventure tales from around the globe, like being dragged off by a hyena in Botswana, surviving a Saharan dust storm, being woken by an intrepid emperor penguin in Antarctica and coming face-to-face with a venomous bushmaster (one of the most dangerous snakes on the planet) - all told in lyrical prose and illustrations that wonder at the mysterious beauty of the wild.

Firstly I just have to state that I received this book in exchange for an honest review (thank you Frances Lincoln! ). This book makes me yearn for days full of hiking and exploring, warm nights under the stars, and above all, campfires. The sketchbooks are attributed to an “Unknown Adventurer” who appears to have created a guide to adventuring for two young relatives, hoping to inspire them to explore hidden places around the globe. Restored and pieced together, the mysterious Unknown Adventurer’s notebooks are now available for everyone to share. This book is an absolute stunner. The illustrations are utterly beautiful and if it sounds like I am gushing, that is because this is a book deserving of that. International products have separate terms and are sold from abroad and may differ from local products including fit, age rating, and language of product, labeling, or instructions, or plugs (you may require an adapter).

The subject of the book isn’t something I’d typically choose to read about but I was drawn in by the visuals. The illustrations are wonderfully atmospheric and full of character. Definitely worth a look if you appreciate or study illustration.
