Graeme Base is an outstanding illustrator and writer. If you've read any of his other books this one follows in his style of rhyming his lines. I like the story line as well as the illustrations. This book is about letting people excel at what they are good and not forcing them to conform to set mold. It is set on a far away planet with cool looking characters. They play strange looking guitars and musical instruments with unusual names but the story is the same---no one likes their music and they are forbid to play it. But as the story would have it---tollerance of the non conforming music is eventually learned. If you are a collector of Graeme Base--your NEED this book.
