This follow-up to Vertigo cements Joanna Walsh's reputation as one of the sharpest writers of this century. Wearing her learning lightly, Walsh's stories make us see the world afresh, from a freewheeling story on cycling (and Freud), to a country where words themselves fall out of fashion - something that will never happen wherever Walsh is read.

Joanna Walsh vividly illustrates the world through the eyes of a small child looking at things for the first time, inviting children and adults to playfully explore the sense of sight. Children will be inspired to take notice of both what and how they see the world around them, gaining new perspectives as they do.
