5.0 out of 5 stars
Fabulous insight into legendary illustrators.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Treasury of the Great Children's Book Illustrators (Paperback)
As an illustrator, I find it fascinating to learn a little about what made these legends tick - their educations, techniques, working style, etc. As a reader of children's literature, my mind is blown by these artists bodies of work and their ability feed my imagination. Ms. Meyer has done a wonderful job of presenting the information behind these great artists. And we get to see plenty of illustrations which remind us of the contribution each of these artists made to children's literature.

not bad at all,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Treasury of the Great Children's Book Illustrators (Paperback)
beautiful illustrations as one would expect and want, and good background coverage of the greats of children's illustrators, but i'd like a more comprehensive list of illustrators, there are only the most well-known, arthur rackham, edmund dulac, edward lear, beatrix potter, etc.

Not What I Anticipated,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Treasury of the Great Children's Book Illustrators (Hardcover)
After reading all the great reviews, I purchased this book but neither the pictures nor the content was interesting. I basically wasted the money on something I will not be looking at again. I wanted to see the great illustrations as references and all I saw was some old time drawings. Not what I anticipated.
