اس ای بک کے بارے میں

Grandfather left his grandson a seafarer’s chest, a parrot called Titanic and a dream – the dream of looking for Atlantis.

“Atlantis is right here all around you,” Grandfather said, “you have to learn how to look for it.” So when Grandfather dies, the boy starts looking: in the chest, on shelves, in books, under the stairs.

Colin Thompson’s dazzingly detailed pictures richly illustrate the boy’s magical journey of discovery.
