A harmony between pictures and text, the lines of the drawings matching the lines of the typeface in texture and weight; a recurrent circular movement in the pictures over a two-page spread from title-page to end, the pictures helping pages of verse to balance pages of prose; good spacing in margins and between pictures and text—all contribute to the grace of this book. A blue-green tint inside contrasts with lavender on the binding.
