The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen

Renowned husband-and-wife illustrators Alice and Martin Provensen created dozens of beloved children's books over the span of seven decades, many of which appeared on the New York Times Best Illustrated Books of the Year lists. The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen showcases hundreds of their well-known illustrations, as well as many never-before-seen paintings, drawings, and exquisite sketchbooks from their travels around the world.

Original paintings for their beloved classics—from A Child's Garden of Verses (1951) and The Iliad and the Odyssey (1959) to Myths and Legends (1960) and many others—are beautifully reproduced here. This comprehensive volume is a treasure trove for children, designers, illustrators, historians, and all who cherish classic children's books.
