The book is based on the Jim Henson film "The Dark Crystal". The text of the Book of Aughra, translated by J J Llewellyn, professor of archaeology at Oxford University, appears in full here for the first time: juxtaposed with Aughra's poetic recitation are reproductions of the art and artifacts of the civilization of Aughra's lost world, together with Professor Llewellyn's scholarly explication - achieving the re-creation of a land unplaced in time or space, inhabited by an unfamiliar breed of creature. A strange, fascinating and beautifully presented blend of text and art.. First Edition (stated). Pictorial Soft Cover. Very Good/No Jacket (as published). Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
