Artichoke Tales
Megan Kelso2010

A coming-of-age story about a young girl named Brigitte whose family is caught between two sides of a civil war - a graphic novel that takes place in a world that echoes this one but whose people have artichoke leaves instead of hair. Influenced in equal parts by Little House on the Prairie (Egmont Books, 2009), The Thorn Birds (Virago, 2007) and Cold Mountain (Sceptre, 2006), Kelso has created a moving story about a family amidst war.
