In a small town there lives a lady astronomer. Every evening she looks at the moon through her telescope. She knows it like the back of her own hand. Even in her sleep she can name all the mountains, the craters and the oceans of the silvery globe. One night she makes an amazing discovery. Can it be that there\u2019s an elephant living on the moon? The members of the Moon Society refuse to believe her.<\/p>\n

Elephant on the Moon is a richly illustrated tale of courage, passion and determination. Although it is directed mainly at younger readers, it refers to serious events. Sir Paul Neal in the seventeenth century \u2013 one of the astronomers of the Royal Society \u2013 is supposed to have been the first to observe an elephant on the moon. At the time, his discovery provoked much confusion and fired the imaginations of many writers. Thanks to Samuel Butler\u2019s satirical account, the story reached France. Fontaine himself wrote a tale about it \u2013 \u201cUn animal dans la lune.\u201d Almost 350 years later Gosia Herba and Miko\u0142aj Pasi\u0144ski have come back to this story of the moon, and out of it they have spun a new tale full of adventure.<\/p>\n

Gosia Herba studied history of art. For more than eight years, she has worked as an illustrator. She has worked with La Naci\u00f3n, The Washington Post, Virginia Quarterly Review, Monocle and Penguin Random House. She does illustrations for the press, and designs posters and covers for books and CDs. Recently she has started to do illustrations for children.<\/p>\n

Miko\u0142aj Pasi\u0144ski is interested in the study of culture. He works in graphic design and multimedia.<\/p>\n

Gosia Herba and Miko\u0142aj Pasi\u0144ski are authors of a comic for adults entitled Fertitlity<\/a>.<\/p>\n
