Round and Round and Square

A circle and a square play together to create an entire imaginary world. This book, written and illustrated in 1965 by British designer Fredun Shapur, is an introduction to the possibilities of visual expression and will delight young readers with its magical shapes and colors.

Fredun Shapur studied at Central St Martin’s and the Royal College of Art, both in London, in the 1950s, and worked at ad agencies and design studios in London and Prague. He is best known for designing educational toys for Naef in Switzerland, Galt Toys in the UK, and Creative Playthings in the US. Shapur’s work is now held in the V&A Museum of Childhood, London.
