Each page of Growing Up and Other Vices is a book unto itself. Whimsical little figures illustrate Table Manners ("Do not rummage through the dish to find the tastiest morsel for yourself"); Things You Are Supposed to Grow Out Of . . .; A Noise Brought on by Nature and How to Deal with It; and Behaviour Towards Various Creatures.
In a work that is both enchanting and revealing, Sara Midda wryly observes our adult imperfections. Not a drawing, not a word is untrue, not a moment untouched by a smile of recognition. 52,000 copies in print.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
From Sara Midda, the artist who created In and Out of the Garden and then South of France, comes her long-awaited third book.
Growing Up and Other Vices is a magical evocation of the mysteries of childhood and also a gentle satire on the imperfections of adulthood. Her captivating watercolor illustrations convey the perceptions and inner feelings of children in a way that is both profound and revealing. Not a drawing, not a word is untrue. It is Sara Midda at her dazzling best, in a book to return to again and again.
