Boy Who Couldn't Cry

Rowan Isaac takes your imagination on a journey to engage with his twisted yet enchanting set of characters, spanning from the lonely and lovelorn, to the lurid and proud: the cloud that dreams of becoming a person; Eli's desperate efforts to make himself cry; Winfred, the boy without a soul; Dr Morphia and his Blueberry Jay; the deformed two eyed Cyclopes... The Boy Who Couldn't Cry is an enchanting collection of fifteen short tales whose characters typify with childlike vulnerability the emotional tribulations the world confronts us with. Set in verse, each with black inked illustrations, this book will inspire minds of every age from 9 to 90. The younger readers can absorb themselves in the lucidity of the stories which Matt Soffe's beautifully poetic illustrations breathe fresh life on, whilst the older readers will enjoy reflecting on the witty observations and poignant meanings.
