Now the original 14 drawings are available in a large portfolio edition of loose sheets. In addition, there is a newly discovered 15th drawing, the Youngest Magician, which is included with an updated introduction by the author.
Annotation:
Are those birds on the wallpaper really flying out the window? How did the ocean liner get onto city streets? Make up your own story from the 14 thought-provoking pictures of impossible situations--or just look at them and wonder.
