About

















Queen Mary's Dolls' House / New Modern-Day Miniature Library
Aisha Woke up from Troubled Dreams by Elif Shafak

Bound in 2023

Unique handwritten manuscript by Elif Shafak
45 x 40 x 8 mm

Contemporary bradel binding with pink goatskin sides and dark grey goatskin spine. Hand tooled in black on pink leather. Dark grey leather joints and pink doublures. Endbands in pink leather with dark grey silk highlights. The endpapers are pencil drawn with a protective layer of 28gsm Tosa Washi.

The story of the manuscript follows a narrator as she discovers her sister transformed into a spider on the morning of her wedding. Upon telling it to their mother, her mother confesses that she turned into a fly on her wedding day. Hand-tooled shapes on the cover are drawn from squashed flies, spiders and other insects as well as scribal smudges and corrections appeared in the manuscript. Pencil drawn endpapers depict the abstract representations of the broken veils and spider webs.
