• Bestselling and beloved author and artist Nick Bantock (Griffin & Sabine) shows off his considerable storytelling charm in this adorably odd, hardcover of one hundred 100-word stories, each accompanied by an endearingly quirky iconographic illustration

• The illustrations, known as petroglyphs or Familiars, appear in the Griffin & Sabine books, and Bancock drew the precursors to many of them on Sabine’s postcards

• The Corset & the Jellyfish will appeal to readers of literary playfulness and comdedic absurdity, as well as to Bantock’s existing fans.

• Canadian and U.S. marketing plan to include review copies to leading media outlets; author events and appearances; book launch; Instagram and blog tour; podcasts, radio, features, and interviews
