Around the world in 32 pages

I finished this book in 2020 but thought it newsworthy as it has recently been acquired by the Bodleian Libraries in Oxford and I have finally added images to the website.

Another collaboration with friend and poet Mike Sims, it tells the tale of Magellan’s attempt to find a western route to the Spice Islands which became the first voyage around the world. I had great fun working with him on this project which was originally supposed to be submitted to a book arts exhibition in Liverpool to celebrate 500 years since the voyage.
