Description:	Double sided accordion, 11 panels. Offset lithography in full color with die-cut flags. Image pages created from original drawings that combine gouache, powdered graphite and letterpress printing. Produced at the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts, at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. Land Marks Press: "Imagine a conversation between two extraordinary women, separated by a thousand years, yet connected by acts of bravery and more than coincidental commonalities. Imagine that this dialogue transcends time, and links Queen Esther, from the Jewish story of Purim, and Scheherazade, the Muslim woman who told stories for a thousand and one nights. This is the inspiration for Lynne Avadenka's new artist's book." "The book structure reinforces the never-ending, always mutable nature of storytelling, and the narrative is printed on tabbed pages that weave their way through the evocative imagery printed on the accompanying page spreads."
