Product Description What is this growing on Barleycorn land, and is it intended for Barleycorn hands? Mr. and Mrs. Barleycorn live a quiet life, alone and forgotten by the world. But something is growing on Barleycorn land, something that Mr. Barleycorn decides it would be best to take. And with this, for better or worse, he brings the outside...inside. Review Mr Barleycorn picks a green baby growing on his land, letting loose the incredible power of nature. Painted in vivid watercolours and gouache, the book has a sense of the surreal and magical- plants sprout out of the television, vines colonise the kitchen, and even the transport has taken to seed. The follow-up to the award-winning Black Dog, this strange and beautiful book is a modern fable, a paean to the power and bounty of the natural world.
