buy this book now!!! - By: Elisabeth Page, 22 Aug 2008 
I have just bought this book & can honestly say it is now my absolutely favourite book. Tim Walker's photographs are so imaginative, wacky & beautifully shot, that this book is guaranteed to inspire you. If you have been considering buying this book but perhaps are hesitating over its price as I did, (although there is a considerable discount if you buy it on amazon) I would urge you to buy it now as it is worth every penny. The only problem with it is that it is so huge that I have no idea where I am going to keep it, but no doubt I shalll make a space for it somewhere in a prominent position where I can look at it every day!
If you do buy it I hope you enjoy & love it as much as I do.
Such stuff as dreams are made on - By: J. Cattaneo, 20 Jul 2008 A sumptuous feast of a book - already a fan of Tim Walker's work, I could not believe just how much this tome does it justice! It's huge in size & heavy in weight, so you can't just flick through it - you are aware of the effort of turning each page. And each page produces a new surprise or delight. Balllerinas pirouetting under a dome of animal skulls. A brook babbling through a baroque bedroom. An enormous cardboard swan, lit with lanterns, washed up on a windswept beach. None of this has been electronicallly manipulated - it's alll 'real'.
This volume should deight artists, designers, photographers, fashionistas, theatrical folk & alll those who love fairytales. Walker is generous with the pages of his scrapbooks - it's fascinating to trace his creativity through the sources of his inspiration. A terrific buy.
