Bøger udgivet af Jonathan James Books

The world is alive with magic and other such things of fantasy, true or not, of now and then, both far away and near. We need to simply reach out and touch it to be in the world of Jonathan J. and a black cat named Toby Lynn Alexander St. George Derbyshire Morgan McPhee. Toby is a cat, who is "more than that," says Jonathan J. Toby knows more than you or me, acting as a reminder of what might be real and what we make up and pretend is real in our "not so ordinary" lives. Meant to be read aloud to a child or quietly to ourselves, these poems and pictures of nonsense and fantasy are for all ages of people who don't measure their age in years, but measure their youthfulness with the amount of delight and wonder they continue to find in their lives. May these poems and pictures age with you as you grow young.

This is NOT a "how to" book of plans, sketches, and tips for building a Catspaw Dinghy. Rather, it is a story told in pictures of a craftsman working in a way which connects him to larger living tradition of crafts. It is a tradition shared by craftsmen and women who approach their work with a special kind of attention and care, which brings "something more" to their work. That "something more" can only become part of his work when the craftsman works with a love of his craft. It's then that he's able to create something with a timeless sense of value which can be appreciated for generations to come.
