De verboden haven #[nn]

A handsome young naval officer gazes out from an oval portrait framing on this beautifully designed hardcover, a tall ship catching the warm glow of a golden sky behind him — Teresa Radice and Stefano Turconi's De Verboden Haven (The Forbidden Harbor) arrives in Dutch dressed like a treasured old volume, its weathered blue binding evoking sea logs and adventure diaries from another age. The 2022 HUM! edition is a lovely object in its own right, promising a maritime story told with evident care and craft.
