I love Bradbury's short stories, and I love McKean's illustrations, especially in a children's book. The things he creates defy reason and sometimes explanation but they're never short of gorgeous. Neil Gaiman he got himself into the director's chair a few years ago with the visually stunning and just generally great "Mirror Mask" of which I am a proud owner. If you haven't already and you are any kind of fantasy fan I can't recommend McKean's work enough. If he wanted to illustrate every story in The Martian Chronicles or The October Country I would snap them up in a heartbeat. He longs for the power of flight like his uncle or to walk in other people's minds like his older sister but no matter how hard he wishes or tries he remains, frustratingly human.ĭave McKean is an artist who traffics in the dark and dreaming worlds and his otherworldly style is literally made to bring Bradbury's stories to life. He alone has a steady human heartbeat and no special abilities that aren't shared by a thousand other people just like him. Every one of them is gifted with some dark, beautiful power or astounding ability and all of them will live forever.
This gorgeous story is about the youngest son in a very mysterious family. I don't know what genius realized that Dave McKean and Ray Bradbury were the clearly the dream team of fantasy writing and illustration but I'd like to kiss their feet.
