Michael Leader and Jake Cunningham on their book, Ghibliotheque

The hosts of "Ghibliotheque" – a podcast accompanying listeners through the films of Studio Ghibli – tell us all about their brand new book! An essential guide to all things Ghibli written by Michael Leader and Jake Cunningham, Ghibliotheque is a perfect gift for fans and novices alike.

Adapted from the acclaimed podcast, Ghibliotheque offers a well-balanced and highly informed critique of some of the greatest animated movies of all time, including Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke. From Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind to Earwig and the Witch, authors Michael Leader and Jake Cunningham review every Studio Ghibli feature film, providing insightful background information on how the films were made, and considered film-fan reactions to the works themselves. Beautifully illustrated with stills and posters, portraits of the creative team and the Studio itself, this is a comprehensive, engaging guide to the wonderfully complex, mysterious and entertaining worlds of the legendary, Oscar-winning animation company.

Thanks so much to Jake and Michael for visiting the shop and signing some copies!
