The Vanishment of Thomas Tull

Welcome reprint of the Ahlberg classic about shrinking T Tull and his salvation. Writer and artist are at their imaginative best (1977) with a rich gallery of eccentric characters and trans-continental action. A reminder, in this early work, of the immense contribution the pair have made to the reading lives of those we used to call reluctant. One of those books from which I often read short extracts aloud to capture readers (the first two paragraphs; Dr Gristlebone's contraption; the African adventures).
