The Little Fisherman: Margaret Wise Brown and Dahlov Ipcar

About this book

The Little Fisherman is a milestone in the illustrious career of the legendary Dahlov Ipcar. The book originally published in 1945 was the very first childrens book illustrated by the then twenty-eight-year-old artist. The book with its authentic coastal scenes helped establish her distinctive style and ignited a four-decade-long creative run that saw her write and illustrate more than thirty childrens books all from a studio overlooking her farm on Georgetown Island Maine. The fact that Ipcars first book was also written by Margaret Wise Brown only adds to its importance in the world of childrens literature.
