Description
Some years ago we had a foreign exchange student come to stay, but he didn't want to use our guest room. He preferred to sleep in our pantry... He told us just to call him Eric. 'Shaun Tan's stories touch on wonder, fear, exploration and relationships. Questioning strangeness is a strong theme, a reminder that difference doesn't have to mean the same thing as fear.' The Age
