Au gré des courants #[nn]

Simon Hureau's *Au gré des courants — Carnet de pérégrinations à Amboise et alentour* invites readers on a leisurely sketchbook journey through the rooftops and chimneys of the Loire Valley town of Amboise, rendered in loose, expressive line work with warm watercolor washes. The cover's panoramic view of terracotta chimney stacks, weathervanes, TV aerials, and tiled rooftops captures the unhurried charm of a wanderer's notebook, exactly the kind of travel diary that rewards slow, attentive looking. Published by La Boîte à Bulles in 2013, this is a quietly beautiful volume for anyone who loves hand-drawn illustration and the pleasure of getting lost in a place through an artist's eyes.
