Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Splendidly designed and generously illustrated, this catalog hints at the excitement in store for those attending the exhibition of original illustration for children's books currently at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, and later at the Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis, Tennessee, and the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington. Informative essays, written by curators Michael Patrick Hearn, Trinkett Clark, and H. Nichols B. Clark, explore four major themes--alphabets and nursery rhymes; myths, fables, and fairy tales; stories for young listeners and readers; and adolescent adventures and mysteries--through the works of yesterday's masters, such as Howard Pyle and N. C. Wyeth, as well as such contemporary giants as Maurice Sendak and Chris Van Allsburg. For those unable to experience the comprehensive survey on-site, this book, which showcases most of the best American illustrators in the last 100 years (with the surprising omission of such favorites as Steven Kellogg, Tomie dePaola, and David Macaulay), provides a visual journey that informs as it inspires.

From Kirkus Reviews
This beautifully illustrated volume is a delightful reminder of the magic we all found in the books we read as children. In Myth, Magic, And Mystery ($50.00; paper $29.95; Sept. 1996; 240 pages; ISBN 1-57098-080-2; paper 1-57098-079-9), Trinkett Clark and Nicholas Clark (of the Chrysler Museum, which is copublishing this volume) and children's literature authority Hearn offer views on classics such as George Cruikshank's illustrations of the Cinderella story, as well as contrasting versions by other artists; more recent icons such as Hans Augusto Rey's Curious George; and everything from abecedarians to nursery rhymes, fantasy to hard-core reality. A colorful reminder that ``children's art'' is not so easily defined: The best artists, like the best storytellers, respect the discriminating tastes of their young readers. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP.
