Jemmy Button

Inspired by the life of Jemmy Button – a native of Tierra del Fuego who wasbrought to England in the mid-1800s to be ‘educated’ and ‘civilised’ by CaptainRobert FitzRoy – this book illustrates Jemmy’s bizarre encounters and his returnback home. Collaborating across continents, without a common language, Valerio’sprecision and Jennifer’s primitive style have resulted in a story unlike any other.
