Description
|
|
|
|
Caldecott Medal winner Alice Provensen has been illustrating children's books since the 1940s (many of them with her late husband Martin) and her art is unique and self-assured, adapting itself to each story she illustrates. In this book for readers up to 9, she chooses a folk art style to depict the 1897 gold rush along the Yukon and Klondike rivers in Canada and Alaska, evoking images that some of the more artistically inclined adventure seekers might have painted to record their trek. Provensen tells the detailed and also woolly story of one young man, Bill Howell, who eagerly quit his clerk's position to accompany his friend Joe up north.
