[About this book]
The captain was a prince.
My destiny, the captain,
I said this as soon as I came to meet him.
Let's get married.
It starts from there,
Me, the dog, and the captain,
A dreamlike moment.
The setting is on a shelf, and all the characters are wooden dolls.
Goffstein's story of love, life and fantasy.
Me and My Captain is the long-awaited new translation and new edition of Me and My Captain, published in 1974 by legendary picture book author M. B. Goffstein.
The setting is on a shelf in a window frame, with all the characters being wooden dolls, and the philosophical themes are gently, deeply and infiltrated into the heart, with plenty of imagination and humor.
And the perfect picture is super simple. This is the ultimate love story that was reached by the author who has continued to question what our true happiness is.
