Barcelona

A book for readers of all ages with 41 poems by Josep Carner – translated for the occasion by the poet Mary Ann Newman – and illustrated with magnificent photographs of the same animals which – sculpted and rendered in sgraffito or wrought iron – can be found on the façades, railings and fountains and in the gardens of Barcelona: arguably the European city with the most extensive and complete bestiary which can be enjoyed during a leisurely stroll. ”Barcelona Bestiary”  also includes plans showing the location of the animals and texts by Marta Luna which help put the images in context.
