A Treasure,
By bingsy (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blues: An Anthology (Paperback)
I have to admit that when I received this book it wasn't everything I expected, but I take the full blame. I made assumptions and put it on my wishlist without really reading the description fully. I felt I didn't need to know anything more than that it had illustrations by Miguel Covarrubias and that it was by Handy.
I expected more history and stories rather than actual songs with music, and I expected illustrations throughout. After receiving it I know now that it is mainly an anthology of songs, and the illustrations are limited to the introduction. This does nothing to diminish this book as a treasure in my eyes. Though the Covarubbias illustrations are much fewer than I'd imagined, they still make me breathless to look at them. Truly gorgeous. The music provided by W C Handy is itself history to me. It's just a beautiful book to own. |
