Dinotopia: a Land Apart from Time

Fantasy Children’s Books

James Gurney’s Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time invites readers into a lush fantasy realm where humans and dinosaurs coexist in harmony. This lavishly illustrated picture book, first published in 1992, delivers sweeping vistas and rich detail on every page, making it a favorite among dinosaur lovers and art enthusiasts alike.

This collectible first edition hardcover arrives with its original dust jacket and all 160 pages of Gurney’s signature paintings. A previous owner inscribed the half-title page—note the ink was later scribbled over—and two pages carry gentle dog-ear creases, but the binding is sound and colors remain vibrant.

Ideal for young adults, nostalgic adults, or anyone seeking a unique fantasy art book, Dinotopia blends adventure with museum-quality illustration. Display it on a shelf or gift it to spark imagination; either way, this vintage 1990s treasure brings Gurney’s timeless world straight to your hands.
