A beautiful piece of design coupled with thoughtful prose … [A] masterpiece
Newsweek
The most physically beautiful book I had the pleasure of holding in my hands in 2015 … Really, The Fox and the Star is an art book, a chance for the abundantly talented Bickford-Smith – best-known for designing the crave-worthy Penguin hardcover classics – to create an entire book from scratch. The simple story of a young fox who loses his best friend only to discover a whole new world makes a sweet premise, but the main attraction is Bickford-Smith's masterful exercise of the book designer's craft
