The lobster is a creature that likes darkness, preferring to live its days being hidden away from sight. But the enigmatic crustacean undergoes a thorough literary, historical, artistic, and scientific examination in The Lobster’s Tale. This beautiful picture book is the result of a collaboration between poet and author Chris Price with distinguished photographer Bruce Foster — Price’s words weave legend with fact, while images by Foster thread subversive perspectives into the conversation.
The Lobster’s Tale is the third in the kōrero series published by Massey University Press and edited by Lloyd Jones (Mister Pip, The Book of Fame, Paint Your Wife).
