A musician's tale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"Harp O'Gold" combines a story by Teresa Bateman with illustrations by Jill Weber. Together they tell the tale of Tom, a minstrel who is dissatisfied with his career. He blames his dissatisfaction on his old wooden harp, which he trades for a flashy gold harp with an inferior sound quality. Tom's fortunes change, and he eventually learns an unexpected but valuable lesson.This is an enjoyable story that is wonderfully enhanced by the colorful, merry illustrations. The artwork has a Grandma Moses-like quality, and is full of visual jokes and other clever details. The overall look of the book is bright and inviting, and Tom is a likeable hero.
