The Sail is a contemporary adult fairytale by G. K. Allum, privately published and illustrated by Polish artist Taxi Taxi.
Honorable mention at the 21st Writer’s Digest Book Awards.
The limited first edition comprised 500 copies, each individually numbered and included a wax-sealed love letter in each copy.
The narrative follows an anonymous protagonist who, lost in the wilderness and awaiting the return of his love, begins constructing a boat for them to sail around the world. He spends his days hammering nails and his evenings varnishing wood. Stitching together the pages of love letters, he makes a sail, allowing the northerly winds to blow words of love across oceans.
Distributed through Waterstones and various independent bookstores in the UK.
