Reserve a copy by emailing enso@nettirw.com. Price will be $10 (shipping included).

ENSŌ is a dark children’s book by yours truly, illustrated throughout by Luke Spooner, and consists of four intertwined fables involving a pair of curious caterpillars, a protective black widow spider, honey bees, a monarch, a ditsy bird, a deaths-head moth, a lost fox, and a brave field mouse, as well as a few other creatures.

The entire book is structured in typical nonlinear Bailey form, and provides a unique take on the circle of life. The book is aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 12, but with its multi-level story-line, the book can be enjoyed by all, over and over again. Get a copy for your kids and read it aloud to/with them. Don’t have kids? I’m sure you know a few…

ENSŌ will be in print soon as a signed and numbered limited edition trade paperback, with only 100 copies available, 10 of which will be offered to Gamut Magazine campaign backers within the next few days. If you want to reserve one of these 100 copies, I urge you to visit and back the Kickstarter page for Gamut Magazine. This will reserve a copy for you, and you will support a fine project by Richard Thomas.
