I enjoyed how the traditional elements were woven into the tale. Lovely illustrations, too.Anne E.G.

There are also snow fleas, the hounds of winter, and other delightful metaphors in a land where children sprout feathers if they don't wash behind their ears.Ned Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823445175520638600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-5111991662735166862011-06-13T20:06:35.116-04:002011-06-13T20:06:35.116-04:00Ooh, I don't know that book, Nan.

Because they're another animal/plant hybrid from medieval bestiaries!<br /><br />Glad to be of service, Wordsmith! I've got a long list of artists I want to feature, so there will be plenty more coming up.Anne E.G.

I remember the illustration, but I can't remember the details. Guess I'll have to buy one of those Amazon used copies for $.60!

I have long liked the work of Kathe Kollwitz, but new artists for me are Carroll Thayer Berry, Jacques Hnizdovsky, Cyril Powers and those wonderful edible Vegetable Lambs. You don't learn enough about these people in art appreciation courses. I'll keep my eyes peeled for other pieces by them as I wander the galleries of art museums and scan the pages of books. Never too old to learn.<br /><br />The Aging WordsmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
