description: A beautifully produced and richly illustrated book that showcases the day-to-day adventures of independent girl-about-town Victoria Prismall and her pet land octopus Otto. Thirty panoramic full-page illustrations humorously chronicle the duo's home and social activities that include (among other things) bathing biking dating cooking playing croquet and pumpkin carving. Accompanying text explains the dos and don'ts of living with a large land octopus. The book's art is extremely detailed and each illustration tells its own visual story. The Victorian era characters and period-influenced design elements combine to create a wonderful collectible art-object for those who still value the classic elegance of ink-on-paper. The hardcover binding is plussed with two-layer embossing and spot varnish and the interior is printed on extra heavy paper. An exquisite volume for lovers of books art and pets.
