THE MAN WHO’D BOUNCE THE WORLD was originally published by Turtle Island Press of Philadelphia, in 1979. On the 30th anniversary of its publication, the illustrations are as luminous as ever, thanks to the care of the publishers, Daniel Tucker and Claire Owen. To my surprise, the story has aged well, and both schoolchildren and adults seem captivated by it. This year, Stanley Scuka’s attempt to “bounce the world” is perhaps more poignant, in the light of the current economic crisis, with millions out of work and many losing their homes. But the message of giving is timeless.
Thank you for taking time to savor the illustrations and read the unabridged text, at your leisure. Text and sideshow: bouncetheworld.tumblr.com
