The result is a fascinating, complete, and highly readable account that looks first at his life and then at the many genres he has drawn upon--autobiographical memories, folktales, Christmas themes, religious stories, and more. She shows patterns and motifs that thread through his work, points out major influences on his art, and gives a rare look at his fine art and his \"non-book\" designs.Ms. Ellemans thoughtful narrative and selections of artwork that illustrate Mr. dePaolas diverse styles bring a fresh appreciation to the work of this unique artist\/author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"G.P.
