King Kong

Product Information

The enthralling story of King Kong involves battles with dinosaurs, daring rescues and incredible escapes - endless thrills lead up to one of the most famous climaxes of all time!

Taken from the only land he ever knew and stuck into manacles in loud, brassy New York City, he becomes the hero.

Meanwhile, an Allosaurus approaches a terrified Ann, whose screams alert Kong, who rushes back and confronts the Allosaurus. Despite his ongoing declarations that women have no place on board ships, the ship's first mate Jack Driscoll is obviously becoming attracted to Ann. Hair-raising adventures providing endless thrills for the reader follow (just as in the film) until that now famous climax on that iconic building in New York . This could have the unfortunate consequence of younger readers not overly enjoying the read or even finishing it. Anthony Browne is the acclaimed author and illustrator of such prize-winning bestsellers as Gorilla (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Kurt Maschler Award), Willy the Wizard , My Dad , Voices in the Park (winner of Kurt Maschler Award) and Zoo (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal).

Biography: Anthony Browne is the acclaimed author and illustrator of such prize-winning bestsellers as Gorilla (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Kurt Maschler Award), Willy the Wizard, My Dad, Voices in the Park (winner of Kurt Maschler Award) and Zoo (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal). Influenced by surrealists he found his originality in creating a dreamlike world populated by gorillas – strong, massive, often deformed characters that are capable of the most unexpected, kindest feelings.En la versión de Anthony Brown las ilustraciones son maravillosas, tienen un nivel de detalle fantástico, me llegó a sorprender de los detalles que presenta, es increíble la ilustración. Denham picks his way to the front of the crowd, where a cop remarks "That was some fight, but in the end, the airplanes got him. Unfortunately, I did find the book’s storyline quite slow and unexpectedly struggled to maintain interest in finishing the book myself.

But his collaborator and subsequently co-director and producer of the film, not only did so but it is more than likely a relation of his, Richard Merrion Cooper who wrote the text of this book to accompany Anthony Browne's superb illustrations. In reality, he is gentle and caring and suffers from fear, anxiety, pain and loss (and many other emotions), just like we do.

The text is beautifully worded and is matched by Browne’s equally impressive (as always) illustrations. The military dispatches four Curtiss Helldiver biplanes (with Lewis Guns, and Browning M1918s) to destroy Kong. The violent fight between the two titans ends when Kong pries open the dinosaur's jaw until it breaks.
