Jemmy Button

Jennifer Uman; Valerio Vidali

Inspired by the life of Jemmy Button - a native of Tierra del Fuego who was brought to England in the mid-1800s to be 'educated' and 'civilized' by Captain Robert FitzRoy - this book illustrates Jemmy's bizarre encounters and his return back home. Collaborating across continents, without a common language, Valerio's precision and Jennifer's primitive style have resulted in a story unlike any other.
