One day, a spring fell from the desk of Richard James, an engineer and a dreamer. Its coils took a walk—and so did Richard’s imagination. Author’s note. Bibliography. Full-color illustrations were drawn and colored digitally and then printed, assembled with found objects into dioramas, and photographed.
