Quel livre charmant! Magnifiquement illustré (on devrait plutôt dire « sketché ») par Nina Cosford, il nous amène sur les rails du Trans-Sibérien, de Moscou à Beijing. A noter: l’aventure se déroule en hiver, ce qui donne droit à des images et des descriptions uniques. J’ai beaucoup aimé l’illustration des objets qui l’accompagnent dans son périple. Vraiment bel album!

As a longtime fan of the artist, funding this crowdsource was important to me, and I loved the book. It was such a fun snippet of travel that felt like a curated version of their social media presence. Which I guess it is, essentially.
Really made me want to A)go on an international trip and B) go on a train trip. How would I log my time? Not a sketchbook. Writing blurbs?
Favorite piece in the book was either the depictions of wood in the carpentry shop or the labeled and number diagram of the room, which is EXACTLY the kind of detail I wish more people would use, because I’m super specific and like it.

Prachtig geïllustreerd boekje. Helaas niet al te groot en soms wat kort in uitleg, maar het maakt wel dat ik nu direct op de treinreis mee zou willen.

Adorably illustrated. Journey has been put on my bucket list. I helped to crowdfund this one and don’t regret it at all.

I love Nina’s style of illustration, so that was such a great experience to document through her eyes. I wish there were more illustrations of the scenery that she described, as I bet that would have been more appealing to the reader.
