Walking with Isobel

Walking with Isobel is a magical and fascinating story beyond time and space. In this beautiful tale we follow the young Isobel and her friend Anived in their search for The Man with the Stone, a mysterious figure whose legendary talents intrigue Isobel and sets them off on an adventurous journey far from home. Accompanied by the music from their flutes, Isobel and Anived wander across vast plains, past the sea shore and through the foliage of the dark forest, but also over harsh wilderness and endless desert. In the horizon rises the silhouette of the mountain, the end of the world, alluring them with an unspoken promise of greatness and mystery. Along the journey, the two meet numerous friends and guides, but more than anything else, they meet themselves.

 

Walking with Isobel is a unique book deeply rooted in the tradition of epic storytelling, related to such writings as The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, The Little Prince by Saint Exupéry and The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho. The book is generously illustrated by talented artist, Saga Mariah Sandberg, who has woven the symbolic content of the story into magical motives filled with depth and mystery.

With this amazing saga, Kajsa proves herself to be the next Paulo Coelho without a doubt! A fantastic story beyond time and space that will leave no one untouched, And if Kajsas writings weren't enough, Saga Maria Sandberg has done completely mesmerizing illustrations that goes so well with the lyrics. You simply HAVE to read this!" / Lyckobackens_levande from instagram
