Illustrated by
Mini Grey.
Normus and Lottavim are identical twin giants whose sibling closeness hits a roadblock when they reach marriageable age. The two split up in search of wives, and all ends happily in reunion. The story's a tad skimpy, but the book's design is luxurious, with decorated endpapers and half-title page and a perfect choice of typeface. Mixed-media illustrations are twisty and lively.
