The Friends - Tapa dura

Edward Monkton's most profound, quirky and inspirational illustrations are brought together in this exquisitely designed collection.

Following the phenomenal success of such stylish and original books as The Lady and the Chocolate, The Pig of Happiness, The Shoes of Salvation, Love and The Penguin of Death, Edward Monkton now assembles his drawings and thoughts on friendship.

The Friends can connect in a mysterious way without even speaking.
Perhaps they have amazing magical powers.
Perhaps they are both just peculiar in the head.

Edward Monkton’s surprisingly philosophical take on all aspects of love, life and happiness have made Monkton’s drawings a mark of good taste year in, year out.

Edward Monkton is a relative of Purple Ronnie, the other well-known creation of Giles Andreae. The three of them live together, philosophising and generally at peace with themselves and the world.
