Synopsis "The Circles in the sky "

With luminous illustrations, this original folktale about the discovery of a lifeless bird offers a sympathetic exploration of grief, loss, and hope. One morning, Fox is drawn toward the forest. There, in a clearing, he sees something small and silent, perhaps forgotten. It's a bird, lying as still as can be. Fox is confused, upset, and angry. Is the bird broken? Why doesn't it move or sing, no matter what Fox does? His curious antics are spied by a little moth, who shares a comforting thought about the circles in the sky--that the sun, even after it sets, is reflected by the moon and the stars, reminding us of its light. In an author-illustrator debut, Karl James Mountford pairs a text at once lyrical and humorous, meditative and down-to-earth with glorious, multilayered artwork that will take your breath away. Told with sensitivity and an enchanting visual style, this story of the ineffable nature of death and life has the feel of a universal folktale for modern times.

Karl James Mountford es un ilustrador británico nacido en Alemania y radicado en Gales. Es conocido por su estilo inconfundible, caracterizado por composiciones detalladas, colores vibrantes y una estética que mezcla lo moderno con lo nostálgico. Sus influencias incluyen la animación clásica, la narrativa visual de cuentos de hadas y la obra de artistas como Mary Blair.

A lo largo de su carrera ha trabajado en una amplia variedad de proyectos: portadas de libros, ilustraciones interiores, libros infantiles, trabajos para editoriales internacionales y colaboraciones con juegos de mesa y licencias. Entre sus obras destacan ilustraciones para series juveniles, álbumes ilustrados y cubiertas que han recibido elogios por su capacidad para captar atmósferas misteriosas, mágicas o melancólicas.

Además de su trabajo comercial, Mountford dedica tiempo a la ilustración personal, alimentando constantemente cuadernos de bocetos donde experimenta con formas, patrones y narrativa visual. Vive en un pequeño pueblo de Gales acompañado de su perro y sus gallinas, y continúa desarrollando proyectos que combinan fantasía, simbolismo y una fuerte identidad gráfica.
