Bruno Munari’s ABC
$38.00
Bruno Munari’s ABC – Semplice lezione d’inglese is an alphabet book written and illustrated by Bruno Munari in 1960, with his signature colourful irony. Originally intended for the United States, it becomes a simple and fun English lesson suitable for all ages.
Munari fills the pages of this book with vibrant images of everyday objects that share the same initial letter. So, we find an owl next to an onion, a yellow banana with a blue butterfly, an elephant alongside an ear and an egg.
It’s a book that introduces readers to the English language in an original and creative way, using Bruno Munari’s iconic style. It’s perfect for children approaching the language for the first time, but also for adults who want to rediscover the alphabet through the artist’s irony and imagination.

In the corner of a quiet, long-abandoned house, something is bubbling up and protesting. Suddenly, out from their hiding spots burst three young shapeshifting magicians—an elephant, a blackbird, and a human girl—each of whom embarks on their own journey. But a fierce young Huntress and a mechanical lion-dragon named Clinker are hot on their trails... and won't rest until every last magician is vanquished.
Fans of Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki's work or The Wizard of Oz will feel right at home in the pages of The Magicians, with its fabulously eclectic characters and entertaining, suspenseful, dreamlike story inspired by video games, science fiction, fantasy, and fairy tales. Magic is the beating heart of this multi-world universe—the magic of nature, the magic of childhood, the magic of creativity and imagination. Here, Blexbolex celebrates the mysterious, beautiful mess of life.
Every gorgeous page features a silkscreen-style illustration that brilliantly layers three Pantone spot colors, in a festive palette that suggests “vintage circus.” From the heavy cardstock binding with French flaps, to the bronze metallic endpapers, to the book's paper evoking that of classic comic books, Blexbolex carefully selected the materials that would best realize his vision. The result? A visually stunning work of art.
Blexbolex is an award-winning French graphic artist living in Berlin.
