A review by katrinepoetry
The Great North Wood by Tim Bird

4.0

Now I’m not a giant comic book reader, but my fiancé is, so when we went to Nottingham and he discovered an independent comic book shop I was of course dragged along. So while he got his nerd on, I flickered through the odd book in boredom until I found this - and was instantly hypnotised. I stood there and read almost half of the entire book before I acknowledged I needed it in my life and bought it. Not only are the illustrations beautiful in their simplicity, but the words are laid out across the page like poetry. Already I’m looking forward to sitting down and flicker through this darling of a creation again.
