A raison d’etre of Calla Editions is to make long-forgotten masterworks available to contemporary bibliophiles,and this book fulfills that aim like few others can. The Ship That Sailed to Mars has a legendary reputation,and the original edition is much sought after by an ardent cult of collectors.Its author,William Timlin,was an obscure South African architect who,in a singular burst of creativity,brought forth a magical intertwining of science fiction and fantasy,a kind of Burroughs meets Tolkien.With 48 pages of calligraphic text — in Timlin’s hand — and 48 color plates,it is a work of stunning design,illustration,calligraphy,and overall conception.The Calla Edition also features a new introduction by John Howe,one of the two chief conceptual designers for Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.The reappearance of this much-discussed title will be applauded by many fans of science fiction,fantasy,and book illustration.
