Moriconi, Renato

The Little Barbarian

(1) PS Armed with sword and shield, the little barbarian gallops his steed over and under hazards and monsters. On the final spread, a distraught little boy and his father walk away from--aha!--a merry-go-round. Brazilian artist Moriconi's wordless format allows for interpretation. A creatively used tall, skinny trim size; deep, transparent watercolors; masterful use of white space to build suspense; and a satisfying surprise add up to a stunningly original book.
