The Mysteries of Harris Burdick

Written and Illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg
The drawings in this book were rendered by Harris Burdick, who shared them with children’s book publisher Peter Wenders and then disappeared. Chris van Allsberg compiled them into this volume and published it in 1984. The titles and captions are the only clue we have about the drawings. Readers are left to use their imagination to figure out the rest.
