Billy and the Balloons CTB Royal Tyler's superb new translation

Royal Tyler's superb new translation is scrupulously true to the Japanese original but appeals immeadiately to the modern reader

'He believes in the cadence

and urgency increases and intensifies

and say "use your best judgment": it tells you what choices to make

With a beautiful foiled and padded cover
