Truly Inspirational Literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The illustrations and story presented by Kevin Hawkes and Michelle Dionetti are an inspiration to the reader. I feel that the central characters of Claudine and Vincent in conjunction with the authenticity of the images and words bring a new life to the myths surrounding Vincent van Gogh. Looking at his life through the eyes of a child we see that his eccentricities are just that and children can understand that characteristic in an adult better than most adults can. Ms. Dionetti has captured Vincent and shines a more sympathetic light on him - as someone who lights a fire in the artistic heart of a young girl from Provence. Kevin Hawkes illustration on the final page of the book speaks volumes.
Beautiful rendition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a beautiful rendition of a new way of looking at the life of Van Gogh - through the eyes of a child. Truth or fiction? It's certainly possible. Haven't you ever imagined interacting with a legend? It feeds the imagination.
