In a faraway land live a bright, industrious people called the Gothamites. Tired of being model citizens, they hit on a solution: they’ll become the most foolish people around. Chaos ensues, brilliantly captured by Eno Raud’s wordplay and Priit Pärn’s crowded illustrations. From one of Estonia’s most cherished children’s authors comes the spirited tale of a town that decides to wreak havoc in hilarious fashion.
Elsewhere Editions is a children’s imprint from Archipelago Books, devoted to translating imaginative picture books from around the world. We hope that these titles will enrich children’s imaginations and cultivate curiosity about other cultures, as well as delight with their humor, art, and playful spirit.
