What the jury said As the title suggests, this book is a collection of curious item, and it cleverly feels like a cabinet with its horizontal format that is bound at the top edge. Each double page showcases the secret marvels of the world, including unicorns and other animals of the imagination. The bright, saturated colours of the illustrations take the reader back to the heyday of private collections of rare exotic artifacts, which gave rise to modern museums. Cabinet de Curiosités is a source of discovery, amazement, and delight.
