The book, a fantastic family saga spanning three generations and an entire continent, was a critical smash named to many \"Best of 2010\" lists. Fantagraphics is proud to bring this perennial classic back in print with a new paperback edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eArtichoke Tales\u003c\/em\u003e is a coming-of-age story about a young girl named Brigitte whose family is caught between the two warring sides of a civil war. It takes place in a world that echoes our own, but whose people have artichoke leaves instead of hair. Influenced in equal parts by \u003cem\u003eLittle House on the Prairie\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Thorn Birds\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDharma Bums\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eCold Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e, Kelso weaves a moving story about family amidst war. Kelso's visual storytelling uniquely combines delicate linework with rhythmic page compositions, creating a dramatic tension between intimate, ruminative character studies and the unflinching depiction of the consequences of war and carnage, lending cohesion and resonance to a generational epic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 7.7 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 20, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765846147360,"sku":"9781683966753","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/9a275945cbedffa0b707a816a872377c.webp?v=1780281488","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/artichoke-tales-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
