The comics of award-winning Bosnian illustrator Filip Andronik are well known to audiences both at home and abroad. After four years of work bringing this story to life through illustration, Bajramske Cipele (Eid Shoes) is finally here, presented in a luxurious hardcover edition featuring 56 full-colour pages.
The story follows Ismet, a mischievous young boy who lives with his six equally mischievous brothers and sisters in a small mahala (traditional neighbourhood) that no longer exists, in a time long gone.
Eid is just around the corner when a mysterious creature, with long arms and legs and eyes that glow in the dark, causes quite a stir in the neighbourhood with a series of daring thefts.
Are these strange events somehow connected to Ismet, or will he be the one to unravel the mystery behind all the commotion and earn himself a special gift?
