The Rising of the Wind: Adventures along the Beaufort Scale
A beautiful hardcover book first published by Green Tiger Press (English edition 1984). A unique and special combination of original art, science, poetry, and calligraphy.
Beautifully illustrated folio book that explains the Beaufort Scale through the tale of two children who visit a blind poet who honors the sea by singing songs of the wind and the waves.
Wonderfully evocative full-color illustrations, and marginal notes offering a glossary of nautical and astronomical terms. Folio grey cloth with bright color pastedown on front cover. Illustrated endpapers and color illustrations by Claire Forgeot throughout.
