A dictionary story

A dictionary story2001

Sam Winston

About this book

Initially started out as a short narrative in which certain words from the dictionary became living characters that met each other. It then evolved into two columns, with the story running in one whilst the definitions of the words ran in the other. The final element to 'A dictionary story' was the typographic illustrations, in which the definitions were used to illustrate what was happening in the narrative.
