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","brand":"Megan Kelso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42828196020285,"sku":"9781683966753","price":34.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781683966753_7163f40e-9cb0-472e-8db7-60d810d6f676.jpg?v=1766950129","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/artichoke-tales","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
