Maurice Sendak, Robert GravesLe grand livre vert

“Jack is an orphan growing up with his aunt and uncle in a large house in the country. The couple forces the young boy to go for long walks every day when he dreams of exploring the surroundings alone with his dog. Jack is bored until one day he ventures into the attic and discovers a strange green book. The object contains many magical formulas that open the doors to a fantastic world where the order of things seems to be reversed. Transformed into an old man, Jack now has the power to take control of his destiny.”
