Ballad of Santo Casiero - Softcover

Clifford Harper illustrates John Gallas's ballad poem about the life and times of the Italian anarchist Santo Caserio, a baker who assassinated the French President, a little man who tried to change things and got his head chopped off. The drawings are a homage to the work of Frans Masereel, and accompany perfectly the ballad verse. Agraphia is Harper's own publishing imprint, and as you'd expect, the books are exquisitely designed, illustrated and printed. Includes a biographical sketch, by Harper, of Caserio.

John Gallas is a teacher at the Leicestershire Student Support Service. He is the author of "Flying Carpets over Filbert Street" and "Practical Anarchy,"
