<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>2 EISNER AWARD NOMINATIONS / Best Graphic Memoir and Best Writer/Artist Craig Thompson</b></p> <p><strong>Set of six comic books. Includes <i>Hello Chunky Root</i> mini-comic and a sticker.</strong></p> <p>From ages 10 to 20, Craig Thompson (author of <em>Blankets, Goodbye Chunky Rice, Habibi, Carnet De Voyage, Space Dumplins</em>) and his little brother Phil, toiled in Wisconsin farms weeding and harvesting ginseng. The medicinal herb fetched huge profits in China and funded Craig's youthful obsession with comic books. Comics, in turn, allowed him to escape his rural, working-class trappings.</p> <p>For the first time in his career, Thompson is serializing his story. Part memoir, part travelogue, part essay-- all comic book--<em>Ginseng Roots</em> is a sweeping narrative that unearths surprising connections between class divide, agriculture, holistic healing, the 300-year-long trade relationship between China and North America, childhood labor, and the bond between two brothers. </p> <p><strong>Craig Thompson</strong> is a cartoonist and the author of the award-winning books <em>Blankets</em>; <em>Good-bye, Chunky Rice</em>; and <em>Habibi</em>. He was born in Michigan in 1975 and grew up in a rural farming community in central Wisconsin. His graphic novel <em>Blankets</em> won numerous industry awards and has been published in nearly twenty languages. Thompson lives in Portland, Oregon.</p>
