A stunning anniversary edition of a beautiful and timeless award-winning classic from master of collage, Jeannie Baker.
A boy and his father travel in their boat, 'Time Machine' to a stretch of beach beside a primordial tropical rainforest. As the boy walks among the trees he imagines the forest as it might have been in the past. Dinosaurs emerge, barely perceptible, from a tangle of trunks and vines; the faint outlines of an aboriginal child melt into a background of trees and in the final haunting scene the unspoiled vista readers have toured is overlaid with translucent images of a possible future civilisation.
