This enchanting little book is for reading to children but contains several of my favourite paintings including 'Double Portrait with Wineglass'. Such a happy little book, with a cartoon depicting his uncle Neuch playing the vioin which made Marc so happy that he felt his 'head would gently float off his body'. There are other charming moments but I won't spoil them here! Buy it and read it with a child :-)

Having previously read six of the titles in this series, this is probably the less informative of the now seven I have read. Guess I wanted more info as I have only read one other title about Chagall. I did learn that lots of things in Chagall’s paintings he saw in his dreams and if a person in his paintings that means they are happy., also a fiddler is seen in many of his paintings.
