Best of Norman Rockwell

Norman Rockwells son Tom has put together the absolute finest collection of his fathers bounteous body of work illustrations that bespeak the golden glow of pre- and post-WWII Americana. Rockwell senior who said he depicted life "as I would like it to be " chronicled iconic visions of American life: the Thanksgiving turkey soda fountains ice skating on the pond and small-town boys playing baseball-not to mention the beginning of the civil rights movement. Now the best-selling collection of Rockwells most beloved illustrations organized by decade is available in a refreshed edition. With more than 150 images-oil paintings watercolors and rare black-and-white sketches--this is an uncommonly faithful Rockwell treasury. The original edition has sold nearly 200 000 copies.
