My Neighbor Totoro' Adaptor Unpacks New Season of Hit Olivier-Winning Show: 'It's Got That Beautiful, Timeless Quality' (EXCLUSIVE)".

I bought this book when I spotted it in my local Waterstones one afternoon because I wanted to see if the story on the screen translated well to the page.

Told mostly from the view of 11 year old Satsuki, it explores the challenges of moving to a new house and having an ill family member. This prestige, hardcover edition features original illustrations by Miyazaki himself, accompanying a story written by veteran children’s book author Tsugiko Kubo.

The companion book to the beloved animation classic My Neighbor Totoro, by legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki.A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. I still felt that way when I started reading, both because I love the My Neighbour Totoro movie, but also because the book itself is really beautiful and kinda magical with pictures in it and on the cover. Totoro has animistic traits and has kami status because he lives in a camphor tree in a Shinto shrine surrounded by a Shinto rope, and he is referred to as mori no nushi (master of the forest). From the beginning, he commanded attention with his incredible ability to draw, and the seemingly-endless stream of movie ideas he proposed.
