I have a gazillion favorite artists, but the wonderful Garth Williams is one of my most favorite. Recently while checking in books at the library where I work, a copy of "A Cricket in Times Square" came through, and I had to stop for a few minutes and glance through. What an amazingly talented man! Just now as I searched the internet for his work I was again reminded of so many lovely stories that were a part of my childhood and my own children's. Here is a sampling - a feast for the eyes!
"The Kitten Who Thought He Was a Mouse"
"Farmer Boy"
"Charlotte's Web"
No idea what this one is from, but love it!
A portrait of the Mr. Williams
I had no idea he did all those things. I just never put them together. I love his work too.
