Customer Reviews
Zwerger's dreamy watercolors are delicate, sensitive.
As an art student intensely interested in children's book illustration, I was excited to find this Lisbeth Zwerger book. If you are looking for a showcase of the artist's delicate watercolor style - and not especially interested in much text or biographical info on the artist, you will find this well-designed book to be a treasure. I am thrilled to add it to my collection.
Delightfully beautiful
Wonderful book. I was very excited to get this book and, oh, what a joy it was to look through the pages! My only wish was to see more and more and more... Beautiful edition as well. If you are looking for the full biography of the artist and the descriptions of her drawings and styles, this book is not for you. The book presents only visual homage to the works of the interesting illustrator filling each page with the magic of fairy tales. To my mind, Lizbeth Zwerger stands in line with some of my favourite fairy tales illustrators: Rackham, Dulac, Bilibin. Her work delights and inspires.
My only disappointment was to see some of the Andersen's tales illustrations in a very small format. I really hope to see larger, more complete edition of her works some day.
Simply the BEST!
This is a fantastic collection by a truly masterful illustrator. A must for any illustrator's library or lover of children's classics. This is one to cherish.
