HarperCollins The Fate of Fausto

Another stunning, beautifully illustrated, well thought out book from Oliver J. Slightly dark, but what a message for children & adults alike. Read beyond the ending to see the inspiration, the timing of the writing, illustration, publishing - even the choice of typefront.

This book is beautiful!! I bought it because the illustrations are gorgeous and I have a bit of a thing about paper quality and this one is printed on lovely paper. I told my partner I was buying it for our 7 month old but that was a lie, there's no way she'd appreciate this book the way I do. Perhaps in a few years time!

The Fate of Fausto is a big step away from Oliver Jeffer's other picture books, but it is an excellent, beautifully illustrated book about the pitfalls of wanting too much. Every picture book lover needs to own a copy.

Great story with really charming illustrations.

Lovely book. Beautiful story. My 3 y/o loves having this read to her very often.
