I and my neighbor

NEIGHBORS


"I wondered what the neighbor was doing."

 

"I and my neighbor" (original title: NEIGHBORS) is a masterpiece published by Gofstein in 1979. Although it has been out of print in Japan for a long time, it will be published in a new version and new translation by Tonkachi Books.


A new "neighbor" has arrived at my immediate house.

I was worried about my neighbor, and I was worried.

It is the story of me and my neighbor, who takes time to take time from autumn to summer.

 

It was really nice to be next to me. "

This is a picture book of M.B. Goffstein published in a new version and new translation by Tonkachi Books. I have published six picture books, including "Me and neighbor". All are picture books that are packed with tonkachi's commitment from Japanese translation to binding.



About books

M.B. Gofstein's "NEIGHBORS", published in the United States in 1979, was out of print after the Japanese version was published in 1989 under the title "Oyanari -san" (translated by Shuntaro Tanikawa).
This time, we have renewed a new translation and new binding with a new title "Me and Neighborhood" from Tonkachi Books.

M.B. Goffstein at that time
~ The era when "I and my neighbor" were born-

When I was ready to publish me and my neighbor, I wanted to hear the story of those who knew Goffstein at the time. I immediately came up with her husband, David, and Edit, an editor who has been working for many years. They immediately responded to my about offers who wanted me to tell me anything at that time. This article is a remix of it.
