ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An illustrated fable about the power and infinite magic of books. The Japanese bestseller that has captivated readers of all ages. An elderly king, an avid reader but almost blind, sends two of his subjects to search the world for strange and marvelous stories. Upon their return, over the course of thirteen nights, the men tell the king about the books they found: the one no one can read because it goes too fast; another that is on the run, with the police hot on its tail; the volume abandoned on the shelf of a second-hand bookstore (content, despite its worn pages, because it was owned by a person who read it countless times throughout their life); the story that only young children can read; the diary shared by two children that contains painful secrets... and many more. This unique illustrated tale leads us on an enchanting and heartwarming adventure that reaffirms the power of the written word, the important place books hold in our lives, and the multiple ways we interact with them.
