Daisy Goes to the Moon

In 1919, Victorian author Daisy Ashford (1881-1972) published a book she wrote at 9 yearsold to great success. Inspired by her imaginative adventure, writer Mathew Klickstein and cartoonist Rick Geary have created a delightful graphic novel, in which little Daisy goes to outer space, visits the cosmic automat, watches TV with a time traveler, and more!

Publisher Marketing: Mathew Klickstein and Rick Geary's Daisy Goes to the Moon admirably recreates the childlike creativity of a kid enthusiastically relaying a story without the sometimes cumbersome shackles of cause-and-effect rationality. The elegantly uncluttered illustrations perfectly capture the vibe the tale requires. I devoured the book in a single sitting. It's charming, delightful, surprisingly educational, but mostly just fun.-- "CineDump" Review Quotes : [The] stories [in Daisy Goes to the Moon ] are not only authentic in their voice but a time capsule to a different era.-- "Comicon" Review Quotes : Geary ably adapts Klickstein's whimsical novel, written in the naive voice of real-life Victorian child author Daisy Ashford. ... Geary's artwork, with touches that recall turn-of-the-century comic strips and antique printing techniques, is perfectly suited to Victoriana.-- "Publishers Weekly" Review Quotes : Klickstein's conceit of writing from the perspective of a child, coupled with Geary's illustrations and Alice-in-Wonderland -like characterizations, makes for an excellent match-- "The Book Beat" Publisher Marketing : Rick Geary turns his pen from vintage true crime to whimsy in Daisy Goes to the Moon , an adaptation of a novella written by Mathew Klickstein inspired by the real-life Victorian author Daisy Ashford's successfully published juvenilia, co-written with her parents.
