Poet, storyteller and printmaker, Bernard Salmon began publishing his own texts and illustrations in his native New Zealand in the late 1970s. 'The sea curry' is one of a series of illustrated books he produced while living in London. It tells the story of Peruni, who makes a powerful curry. The curry is continually rejected by his companions who ask him to dilute it with sea-water. The tale has an unexpected twist at the end - as do a number of his other stories.
The tale is accompanied throughout by Salmon's richly coloured illustrations ('silk-screened, with great pains taken, by the B.S.') which greatly add to this charming tale.
NAL copy is no. 40 of a limited edition of 100 copies signed by the artist.
