ALDOUS HUXLEY: LES CORBEAUX DE PEARBLOSSOM

WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS I have limited myself to English language books on We Too Were Children, Mr. Barrie. However, for the sake of completion, I am compelled to mention (via reader and illustrator Maral Sassouni) a French language edition of Aldous Huxley's The Crows of Pearblossom illustrated by Beatrice Alemagna. Alemagna, an Italian-born artist whose works have been published in Italy, France, and the United States, has four two-page spreads available on her website, albeit in a frustratingly small size. It is amazing how one text can create three such striking and different illustrations.
