Benjamin and the Pillow Saga Hardcover - 1990

by Stephane Poulin


From the publisher

Deep, rich illustrations and a witty text tell the story of Benjamin, a happy man who lives with his parents, seldom speaks, and always hums.

..".one of the most original and different books to come along this year (or any year)." - "The Reading Edge"

"The rich, witty drawings in this book have an almost European, sometimes dark, flavour to them, bringing to mind some fairytale illustrations of yesteryear." - "Edmonton Sun"

"Stephane Poulin's gently humourous, offbeat fable springs vividly to life through his superb illustrations. Poulin's witty paintings are richly textured and deeply tinted--gloriously different from the bright, cartoony pictures we often see in children's books." - "Today's Parent"

"Well-wrought canvasses combine folksiness and pizzazz, and lots of the architectural interest at which Poulin is so adept..." - "In Search of Canadian Materials"

"Winner of the Governor General's Award for illustration."

First line

Benjamin was a chubby, happy little man.
