Thanks to you. I do agree on what you say ...Ho Rob! Thanks to you. I do agree on what you say about the fact that children are not a unique entity and, I'm sure, plenty of readers will fall in love with Martin's version. Also I particularly enjoyed observing how their sensibilities worked on the same tales, how they were able to make them so personal and both so unique. I loved Martin's rarefied images, the few colors he used and how he did, and I loved as well Rea's sense of balance. Well, I could spend ages talking about this! :-)Cristiana C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10255658549268241803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3665848475229554638.post-45606357954224728222011-09-14T01:30:24.316+11:002011-09-14T01:30:24.316+11:00Dear Cris,
Thank you for this analysis of the two ...Dear Cris,<br />Thank you for this analysis of the two recent Aesop collections. I especially appreciated the sensitive comparison you made between Martin's "French" style and Rea's "modern" Italian style. I liked how you delicately described how children might be more receptive to one stylistic approach over the other. Because children, and readers in general are not monolithic, this may be inconsequential. Still, it is a very important issue that publishers and artists decide very early on in the process of matching talent and design within the publisher's universe of books.Rob Dunlaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793347901294690888noreply@blogger.com
