The Girl Who Loved The Wind
Sallie Baldwin, New York, New York, 1972
Description
This is a picture story book to read to small children or for older children to read themselves. Format thus had to appeal to widely varying age groups. The story’s Persian setting inspired the artist’s richly detailed watercolor and collage illustrations. He preferred handlettered text as in old Persian miniature, but as this would have made reading difficult for children, only display is handlettered. A fifth color was needed to achieve effect of parchment background.
Special features: Spine and front cover stamped in gold foil.
