Arion And The Dolphin - Softcover

A picture book based on the legend of Arion, the young musician whose friendship with the dolphin that saves his life is ended when the dolphin is captured and dies. Jane Ray's luscious, evocative paintings harmonize with the text, a wonderful mixture of verse and prose adapted from Vikram Seth's libretto for an opera commissioned by the English National Opera.

Vikram Seth was born and grew up in India and has lived in England, California and China. His first novel, The Golden Gate, was in verse and his other books of poems include Beastly Tales. A Suitable Boy was an international number one bestseller.

Jane Ray's many books include Christmas, The Creation and Noah's Ark for Orchard and Fairy Tales by Berlie Doherty for Walker. Her greetings cards and merchandise are hugely successful worldwide. She lives in London with her musician husband and their three children.
