A beautifully illustrated retelling of the classic fairy tale by the Kate Greenaway Medal-winning co-author of The Lost Words
- Jackie Morris is an award-winning artist who was the recipient of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal in 2019 (and was nominated again in 2021). Her many beloved books include Tell Me a Dragon, The Snow Leopard and The Quiet Music of Gently Falling Snow.
- This edition has been comprehensively redesigned by Alison O'Toole, designer of The Lost Words, Morris's collaboration with Robert Macfarlane, which was a Sunday Times bestseller, won the Beautiful Book Award 2017 and was shortlisted for the Wainwright nature writing prize in 2018.
- It features brand new illustrations and is designed to be the same format as Morris's Kate Greenaway Medal-nominated The Unwinding, published to acclaim by Unbound in 2020.
Signed copies will be available.
- East of the Sun is one of three celebrated but out-of-print Morris backlist titles to be reissued by Unbound, along with Song of the Golden Hare (September 2020) and The Wild Swans (October 2021).
