Shaun Tan interview

Answering questions with illustrations.

Shaun TanThis well known and prolific children’s book illustrator was awarded the Astrid Lindgren memorial award earlier this year.

When interviewed by Spiegel magazine Shaun in his inimitable way answered the questions through illustrations.

Shaun Tan’s website is worth a visit and includes an interesting section on books of his which have been turned into films including The Lost Thing which won an Oscar as best short animated film.
