About this audiobook
It was in the hills of argan trees that this collection of haiku was born.
Illustrated with original drawings in vibrant colours, the varied themes cover both the simple joys and surprises of everyday life and profound metaphysical thoughts. A unique style in an incredible multiplicity. Lively and entertaining, it hides many twists and turns in its secret drawers always with humour...
This English-language version has been edited and embellished by Tracey Poole, an extraordinary British artist of rare sensitivity.
