Description


Imagine a typical living room in a large house. It has a tiger rug on the floor, a statue of a little girl on the window sill, and an armchair. And they talk. The tiger cannot see anything except the base-board because he is lying on the floor, and the chair can only look at the opposite wall. And then the statue comes to life. The conversation that ensues is highly individual!

"Reading The Lying Carpet, is a dreamy experience -- the language is lovely; the free verse has an offbeat rhythm; the illustrations are breathtaking."
New York Times
