The House at Maakies Corner book
Alfred A. Knopf Publishers, New York, New York, 2002
Description
What any sane person couldn’t possibly know about this is that the two main characters in Maakies (nobody knows what that name means, sorry) are Drinky Crow and Uncle Gabby, who exist as two separate forms. Part of the time they are rendered as flat line-art comics characters, and the rest of the time they are depicted as three-dimensional cloth toys. The tipped-in decal acts as a sort of portal from the one world to the next. Kudos to the printer for forgetting to put a press varnish on it, which resulted in most of the books looking like they’d been through the war postshipment. Which we kind of liked.
