    <![CDATA[When James was a small boy, his parents died, and he had to go and live with his wicked aunts.  For years he dreamed of getting away from them...until a strange little man gave James some magic green things and scurried away.  James accidentally spilled the green things under the peach tree and resigned himself to permanent misery.  Then a huge peach appeared on top of the tree!  It grew until it was the size of a small house.  Crawling inside, James met some other creatures who had been transformed by the magic, like the Grasshopper, the Ladybug, and the grumpy Centipede, whose razor-sharp jaws severed the peach stem and sent them all rolling down the hill into the sea.  And then the adventure really began.]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Nancy Ekholm Burkert: The Art of Illustration&quot;;  January 31, 2003-March 30, 2003.  &quot;A Deep and Delicate Vision&quot;, by Jane Bayard Curley.   Catalog Design by Rita Marshall,  24 Illustrations,  Paper, 32 pp, 8 &quot; x 8 &quot;,  1,000 Copies, First Edition.     From &quot;Acknowledgments,&quot; by H. Nichols B. Clark:  &quot;Because Nancy Ekholm Burkert's work is so thoughtful and deliberate, she is not a prolific artist. Whether creating an easel painting, a print, or an illustration for a book, Nancy brings to her task the highest aesthetic measure. No detail is too insignificant to warrant intense scrutiny, and her exacting standards reflect the meticulous research she brings to any endeavor. One need only survey the research materials and preliminary drawings she assembled in producing Valentine &amp; Orson to fully appreciate the methodical regimen to which she adheres. As Jane Curley points out in her thoughtful essay, Nancy scours the full spectrum of art history to infuse the requisite image with the appropriate resonance.&quot;]]>
