Imaginative and wild and beautiful and tender – these books (from across the world!) comprise the most gently magnificent library I can imagine putting together for a child.

Few imprints cause my little heart to skip a beat quite like Elsewhere Editions. In a sea of bland offerings, Elsewhere consistently provides beautiful, surreal, magical books that are unlike anything else available. If any imprint is a link to the intangible, it’s this one.
