From the very original ""he Joy of Frogs"" to his erotic flowers series (""""rare"" flowers with such names as ""Spermafloris linguifolium"" and ""Perivagina superba""), Tomi Ungerer''s work stretches the imagination and is marked by a very original style.

"In the early 1970s Tomi Ungerer, the artist and children''s storyteller, moved with his wife Yvonne to a farmstead on the wild Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. For several years he lived there a life of self-sufficiency, painting, writing, sculpting; and also learning, with Yvonne, to be a farmer, a herdsman and, where necessary, a butcher. This is a record, in vivid words and enchanting pictures, of the years they spent there; observing the wild animals, their own domestic flock and the lives of the dour, hardy neighbors in the small town of Gull Harbor. The result is an extraordinary record and a revelation."--Back cover
