In Blue Mountains: An Artist's Return to America's First Wilderness

"In Blue Mountains" was offered as a 'deal' at $4.19. When the book (a total of 22 pages) arrived there was a sticker with $1.99 that had been partially removed. The book itself was in very good condition. Because art is subjective & tastes differ I won't comment on that aspect.

A beautifully illustrated and narrated work for both children and adults. It captures a wonderful aspect of the Catskill mountains in the Hudson Valley of New York. My mother is a member of the 3500 Club, a club with hikes the 35 peaks over 3500 feet in the Catskills. She is eager to take her first grandchild,my daughter, along. This book is a wonderful way for them to begin sharing the wilderness together. Thomas Locker has painted places that you can acutually visit. A map is included in the book so you can adventure to all of the picturesque spots he writes about so dearly. A great gift for anyone who loves the outdoors. It makes it especially meaningful if the giver and the givee can share the adventure together.
