Event information

The Seasons, an Excerpt from Welcome to Upper Zygonia is a place of wonder, and of whimsy; a lyrical and visual fantastic voyage to a place of imagination, far away in the Zygonian Galaxy.

In this book, Earl explores utopias and freedom, for all creatures, such as the seadragons, the first dream beings of Upper Zygonina, through image-rich verse, evoking the blossoming of flowers, their powerful scents and kaleidoscopic colours.
