Puff
William Wondriska
ISBN: 978-0-7893-2911-0
Hard cover book
William Wondriska’s Puff presents an imaginary world where sometimes small but brave gestures are so very important. Puff tells the tale of an old-fashioned steam engine who lives a very unexcited life in a train yard. Puff daydreams that he can swim, or imagines traveling to distant lands like Egypt, India, France and even outer space. His chance to prove his mettle finally arrives when a newer, modern engine pulling the circus cars breaks down during a snowstorm. Puff bravely hooks to the cars and manages to bring the circus into warm sunshine.
First published in 1960, Puff has since become a darling object of the design world. Playfully mixing type with bold graphics, Wondriska’s book is a beautifully illustrated and charming underdog story that will appeal to design fans and people of all ages.
