The Last Alchemist by Colin Thompson
The Last Alchemist is a picture book that is written and
illustrated by Colin Thompson. Colin
Thompson uses a range of brilliant descriptions accompanied with some very
interesting and detailed illustrations. In
the story the king seeks to make gold and asks his alchemist ‘Spinifex’ to do
so. The alchemist then stole everyone’s
gold and brought it back to try and create more. No matter how hard he tried he couldn’t do
so. This story shows that gold or money
can’t buy happiness and is not the most important thing in the world. The resolution to this story occurs when the
king realises that what is most important to him is his kingdom and the people
close to him and not his wealth.
