A first edition of My Father and I by the brilliant Kjell Ringi, a Swedish artist, illustrator, graphic designer, sculptor and writer, and creator of some of the very best children's books of the 1960s and 1970s.
This first edition of My Father and the perfect gift for Father's Day – being a story about a boy walking with his father, imagining all the wild, fantastic things his father could do. It's also a now-rare and much coveted book that comes alive with Ringi's colour-drenched, graphic illustrations the moment you turn the first page.
An iridescent adventure about fatherhood, and a joy from start to finish.
