From the bestselling illustrator Peter Frankopan's The Silk Roads comes a witty, magnificently-produced book, playing with the idea of "sorting".The animal kingdom, modes of transport, musical instruments, art and architectural movements, cloud classification ... anything and eve...rything can be sorted into groups!

One of a Kind marks Neil Packer's debut as an author-illustrator, following his extraordinary artwork for Peter Frankopan's The Silk Roads. With a charming text and breathtaking pictures, this story deserves its title: a true original by a remarkable talent.
