The Arrival -- Shaun Tan

A truly remarkable work of art that is already one of the most talked-about books of the season.<p></p>Tan's lovingly laid out and masterfully rendered tale about the immigrant experience is a documentary magically told. -- Art Spiegelman, author of <i>Maus</i>An absolute wonder. -- Marjane Satrapi, author of <i>Persepolis</i>A magical river of strangers and their stories -- Craig Thompson, author of <i>Blankets</i>A shockingly imaginative graphic novel that captures the sense of adventure and wonder that surrounds a new arrival on the shores of a shining new city. Wordless, but with perfect narrative flow, Tan gives us a story filled with cityscapes worthy of Winsor McCay. -- Jeff Smith, author of <i>Bone</i>Shaun Tan's artwork creates a fantastical, hauntingly familiar atmosphere... Strange, moving, and beautiful. -- Jon J. Muth, Caldecott Medal-winning author of <i>Zen Shorts</i>Bravo. -- Brian Selznick, Caldecott Medal-winning author of <i>The Invention of Hugo Cabret</i>Magnificent. -- David Small, Caldecott Medalist<br><br><b>Author:</b> Shaun Tan<br><b>Publisher:</b> Arthur A.
