The Book Itself

The cover is a muddy green-ish hue. There are decorations surrounding the initial pages and the flyleaf is art in of itself.

The Illustrations

Frank Brangwyn’s oil painting artwork is rich and moody. The light, small poetry is positioned as if it were a caption against the illustrations.
