This week we are highlighting a beautiful new book titled ‘Tales from the Inner City’ by celebrated Australian author and illustrator Shaun Tan. A collection of twenty-five short stories, Tales from the Inner City exquisitely reflects on the nature and relationship between humans and animals. Focusing on the urban existence we share with animals, this extraordinary book tells of the love and destruction we feel and inflict on our fellow creatures. Shaun Tan is an acclaimed artist, whose paintings and books have been revered both in Australia and internationally. Tales from the Inner City is an addition to the Library’s collection of Shaun Tan books, which include The Lost Thing, Rules of Summer and The Arrival.
