The Dark World
Welsh short stories book design






This is an anthology of five Welsh short stories. The title “The Dark World” comes from one of the stories in the book, written by Rhys Davies. It was the first Welsh literature to be introduced to the Japanese Audience. The illustrator Ando Naoki depicted the beautiful image of the old Welsh countryside with a hint of hope. I chose an uncommon binding method which is in between a hardcover and paperback style, to keep it light and still has a literature feel.
