Synopsis

Imagine a train to take you away... Imagine a city and drops of rain, A world without edges where the wind takes you high, where buses are fish and the fish fly the sky." In the city of imagination, anything is possible, and an outing with their mother brings every kind of possibility to life for two lucky children...

About the author

Elise Hurst

I am an illustrator and author of children’s books, as well as a traditional artist. I work in a messy studio at home in Melbourne, near the cemetery and the zoo. I live with my husband, Peter, who is working on his doctorate in Linguistics, in a house full of books and paintings and, lately, twin boys. I've illustrated many books over the years - by a range of wonderful authors and also some that I've written myself.
