You probably know that Jannson is an illustrator too--I have a copy of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark illustrated by her that I really liked. (I think I linked to the right one)

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Started One Hundred Years of Solitude. I only read about 10 pages last night before drifting off, but I was really enjoying what I read.

Yes, I did. She was a wonderful artist. Last year I had a calendar with her drawings of the Hobbit – so different from the illustrations we are more familiar with.

Wow--I would never thought of her as an illustrator for that. I'll check it out. Thanks!

These are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. The Hobbit is a list book, so it's just about on-topic.
