Louise Saunders, talented wife of legendary editor Max Perkins, teamed with one of the most popular illustrators of all time to create this unforgettable fable. Known for his beautiful coloring and humorous touch, Maxfield Parrish's work is iconic — and The Knave of Hearts is his ultimate achievement. Filled with 22 colorful images and lavishly finished with a full-color endpaper painting, this hardcover edition is a collector's classic to treasure.
Silly story, art not directly illustrative. To *me,* disappointing. But then, I found Parrish's actual art work disappointing, when I saw a collection of it on tour years ago. And the story, well, I suppose it's like a play, but I can't imagine who would actually perform it.
You may have an entirely different opinion, of course. But I bet this oversize hardcover is expensive and I hope you can try before you buy.
