My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel

Very nice for the price I payed (even saving a couple of pounds). The canvas cover looks and feels wonderful and the paper is very white and quite thick. The print is large and the font is easily read. The illustrations by Miyazaki himself are soft and more like sketches making them easy on the eyes and suitable for people of every age. The book will be a birthday gift so I can't comment on the story itself but knowing Miyazaki, it will be brilliant. The book is just lovely and will be much appreciated by the birthday boy who is a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Couldn't be happier. :)

I bought this as soon as I saw I could. I love Studio Ghibli and I adore Totoro. This book is a cute hardback with some gorgeous illustrations (including a coloured map at the start!) and the writing is just as whimsical and magical as the film.

Looking forward in giving this to my daughter for Christmas. Beautifully bound and has a lovely dustcover. The illustrations inside are delicate and beautiful. Can't wait to see her reaction when she gets this. Prompt delivery and packaged well.

It’s a proper book but it has a few lovely drawings scattered throughout the book making it so cute.

Hands down the most beautifully heart warming story I’ve ever read. Really brings the story alive and provides a deeper insight into one of my favourite all time animations.

Classic Ghibli film and as I am a book lover I thought I would treat myself to this novel. I have not read it cover to cover yet but the story seems to follow the film but with more content as you would expect. Chapters include: The new old house, is this house haunted?, mother, Mei meets Totoro, the rainy day, the bus stop at Imari shrine, Totoros gift, summer vacation, Mei goes missing and finally, thank you Totoro. I like the fact that this is a little hardback book has a textured feel to the cover almost as if it's an old book. The print is a good size which makes reading more pleasant and more suitable for children. Please see pictures, ruler and pen to aid sizing.

This is a beautiful book and any child would be enthralled by it.

Absolutely wonderful book. If you are a fan of totoro it’s the perfect little item to have

En la novela de mi vecino Totoro las circunstancias y el modo de vida de ese momento se relatan cuidadosamente. Es una novela para niños en prosa simple, que nos puede emocionar también a mayores. Esta novela transporta a tiempos y lugares diferentes, no solo relata la historia de la película sino que la amplia rellenado algunos huecos (como la enfermedad que tuvo la madre) consiguiendo que sea excepcional e interesante. Aunque viene en inglés se necesita poco nivel para leerla. A diferencia de la mayoría de los libros baratos que se encuentran en el mercado, este libro tiene buena calidad. Tanto el dibujo de la tapa dura impresa mate como las ilustraciones del interior son realmente bonitas y nos muestran el arte de la película. Al principio trae un mapa de Masugo, hacia 1955. El tamaño del libro es de 13.3cmX18.5cm y consta de 244 páginas. Con letra grande. Historia original e ilustraciones de Hayao Miyazaki, escrita por Tsugiko Kubo y traducida por Jim Hubbert. Lo que no me ha gustado es la forma de envío como carta urgente para dejarlo en el buzón.

Minhas filhas adoraram.

Very good book for imaginative children's and their parents also. When I was reading the book I could fly with totoro and that cat bus...

Das Buch ist echt toll, wenn man englisch versteht. Es sieht auch hochwertig aus, trotzdem ist es kleiner als ich erwartet habe. Ab und an sind auch gezeichnete Bilder im Stil des Films zu finden, echt schön!

Quality book
