<p><b>'<i>Let the wren rant and rave; it won't notice that you are not joining in</i>.'</b><br><br>When <b>Timorous Beasties</b> rocked the world of interiors with their subversive London, Glasgow and Edinburgh toiles, <b>a new genre of visual storytelling was born</b>. Now, in collaboration with writer Steven Richardson, the studio turns its hand to the <b>fabric </b><b>of literature</b>.<br><br>Part book, part object, part cabinet of curiosities, <i>Toile Tales</i> is an <b>imaginarium designed for the sheer pleasure of gazing and</b> <b>reading</b>. Steven Richardson spins a captivating collection of modern fables, allegories and myths in response to twenty-one toiles illustrated exquisitely by Timorous Beasties co-founder Paul Simmons. <b>This intricate </b><b>play between toile and tale is a book of our times.</b></p>
