"A" Is for Adultery, Angst, and Adults Only
A Attention adults. Announcing a new book--a very personal book, in fact a decidedly quirky book--from Sara Midda, renowned artist of singular talent and author of "In and Out of the Garden," "Sara Midda's South of France," "Sara Midda's Baby Book," and "Growing Up and Other Vices." B Beguiling and whimsical and enigmatic, "A is for Adultery" is an alphabetical entertainment for grown-ups. Each spread considers a letter, weaving words through dazzling miniatures and vignettes. Some words are obvious; some hidden. (Some naughty.) It is a great pleasure to look, even more so to seek. C C is for crayon, crotch, claustrophobia. M for melon, masochist, melancholy, and man. Filled with charming little figures and painted with Midda's exquisite watercolor wash, here is a rare and wonderful marriage of humor and beauty--a treasure of fine things that is both a gift and a game.

Do you love words? Do you love clever? Want to break the ice @ next soirée. Don't miss this. Added bonus: the wonderful drawings suggestive of not what you expected.

I thought this was conceptually quite clever. The chosen word choices, with attendant watercolor illustrations, were also very unique. There is no doubt this is a true artist at work.
Pleasantly shocked

Having been an instant fan of Sara Midda's previous works, I was pleasantly shocked at not only the illustrations but the content of this one. Adorably naughty!
Excellent Product!

In line with the quality & delicate illustrations of her previous books, Sara Midda delivers yet another gem which showcases her signature style. The book is produced on quality paper & printing. The illustrations are lush and colourful. Highly recommended to all followings of Sara Midda's work.
