Almost 30 years ago, Marie Angel was commissioned by Harvard University to create a new animated alphabet. Now, for the first time, this phenomenal alphabet has been reproduced in full color. This is a small bijou of a book, a jewel not only for collectors of alphabet books but for anyone who appreciates the genius of a master craftsman doing what she loves best. Full color.
Exquisite but not "precious." Has wit and verve. Marie Angel is a great calligrapher and graphic artist. The letters in this alphabet are outdone by the animals. You have to see this book to believe it.
This delicate little book is an absolute delight. As a lover of calligraphy, watercolour, visual alphabets and bestiaries - this is the perfect book for me, by a master artist. Love it!
