This debut novel, The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet by author Reif Larsen follows T. S. Spivet, a 12-year-old genius cartographer living on a Montana ranch, who receives an unexpected call from the Smithsonian Institution inviting him to accept an award.
 
He embarks on a cross-country adventure, mapping the world with scientific precision and emotional depth. The book blends narrative with elaborate marginal illustrations, diagrams, and maps, creating a hybrid between novel and artist’s sketchbook — reminiscent of a scientific journal infused with imagination and humour.
 
Thematically, it explores curiosity, loss, family dynamics, and the tension between logic and emotion. Its inventive structure and visual storytelling style received critical acclaim and comparisons to works such as The Invention of Hugo Cabret and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
 
This book is a limited edition of 500 numbered copies, this being No. 113, issued in a custom slipcase. Personally signed by Reif Larsen and highly collectible.
