This book is not meant to be read from cover to cover. Instead, it is a book for dreamers. Its purpose? To ease the soul. From award-winning writer/illustrator Jackie Morris, on the heels of 2020' sThe Lost Spells, is a book that enters the realm of dreaming. With its combination of lush illustration and creative storytelling, this book is destined to become a classic. The paintings between these covers were worked in the between times - between waking and dreaming, during the unwinding of the soul, when the pressures of work were too much. Half-story, half-fairytale, Jackie Morris has created an enchanting tome, to keep on the bedside table, to give as a gift to young and old alike. Threaded through the curious world of The Unwinding are words, there to set the reader' s mind adrift from their own troubles and the into peaceful harbours where imagination can stretch, and where quiet reflection can bring peace. The Unwinding is designed to be a companion, a talisman to be turned to again and again and a place of respite from an increasingly frenetic and complex world. Dreams and wishes are the inspiration at times like this.
