Marten Toonder & Tom Puss

Marten Toonder (1912–2005) was one of the most influential Dutch cartoonists of the 20th century. His Tom Puss stories combined:
•     expressive, character‑driven illustration
•     gentle humour
•     fairy‑tale and theatrical themes
•     richly imaginative settings
English‑language editions like this one introduced his work to a wider audience and are now sought after for their distinctive style and nostalgic charm.
