  • Why did you create this work?
    I got my inspiration from the ancient Greek vase called Amphora. It is placed on the center of the dust jacket. A child is reading this book while Apollo holding the lyre is looking at her. And Athena (Minerva) is looking at the quotation about the Olympus from ‘ODYSSEY’. And ancient Greek and Roman elements are shown on the endpaper.
