a brush with the past

this is a wonderful book! I used it as "another reference" for a talk I gave to a large women's literary group entitled," Woman Illustrators of Children's Books". Shirley Hughes does endearing and heartwarming work ----- ask most any picture reading Mom and Dad not to mention their lucky children. This book took you from Ms. Hughes's childhood (it is basically an autobiography) through to the present concerning her start in illustrating and inserted along the way are typically wonderful double page Shirley Hughes illustrations covering the time span from approximately 1927 until now. Delightful! Especially when you grew up in that timeframe yourself! I'm ten years younger but experienced much the same history. A delightful read and the illustrations alone make it a book to treasure. Now what I REALLY want is one of her prints-----I'm saving my pennies!
