Moletown

Description

Torben Kulhmann's stunningly illustrated, nearly wordless tale offers a fascinating window into an imaginary, yet hauntingly familiar word under our feet, where a mole suddenly recognises the precarious balance between progress and preservation. But is it too late?

Torben Kuhlmann was born in Germany. Highly creative as a young child, Torben was recognised as early as kindergarten for being a gifted draftsman. His first children's book, 'Lindbergh, The Tale of a Flying Mouse' has received rave reviews. Torben's illustrations from Lindbergh were featured at the 2013 Bologna Children's Book Exhibition.
