About This Item

Discover Enchantment with "Tales of the Western World/Folk Tales of the Americas"

The adventure within is beautifully amplified by the book's exquisite design elements, including enchanting illustrated endpapers and a sequence of compelling illustrations that vividly bring the tales to life. Each image, carefully chosen to complement the narrative, transforms reading into a visually stunning experience. Dive into the rich tapestry of the Western Hemisphere with "Tales of the Western World/Folk Tales of the Americas," a meticulously collected treasure by Ruth Elgin Suddeth and Constance Gay Morenus. This juvenile hardback edition is not only a gateway to the enchanting world of folk tales but also a piece of artistry, bound in elegant grey cloth boards adorned with red titles. Inside, the magic continues with illustrated endpapers and a series of captivating illustrations that bring each story to life.

The visual journey within this book is equally captivating, with 12 half-title illustrations and 12 full-page lithographs in red, gold, and brown. These masterpieces are the work of the renowned Warren Hunter, a Texan artist whose love for the rural scenes of Texas shines through in his art. A painter, muralist, graphic artist, illustrator, and teacher, Hunter's contributions elevate this collection to a work of both literary and artistic significance.
