Country of origin: Belguim
Mr. Renny's paintings are so good that they almost appear real. But no-one seems to pay them any attention-until a strange man offers to make everything that Mr. Renny paints come to life.
First there's the painting of the apple, which Mr. Renny can now eat. Then there's a huge hotdog, a new car, a cruise liner...
Mr. Renny paints himself a life of luxury-until his friend Rose comes to ask if she can buy one of his paintings. But he doesn't have any real paintings left! The spell must be broken-and soon!
A book containing subtle references to the work of Belgian surrealist René Magritte, the illustrations are full of clever and amusing details.
