by Andrea Deakin

In 1816 Wilhelm Grimm wrote a long letter to a little girl call- |

ed Mili in which he told her a story. That story -has been. newly —
discovered and published in a handsome edition illustrated by
Maurice Sendak.

It opens in a garden where 4 widow lives with her sole remain-
ing child,-a little girl, a “dear good. girl who always said her
prayers’’, Their happy life is threatened when the country is over-

Tun by war, and the mother sends her daughter into the forest to

hide from the soldiers. The child makes her way through the
dangers of the forest, accompanied by an unseen guardian angel,
until she finds safety in the care of an old-man, Saint Joseph, in.
a hut in a clearing. There she stays for three:days, playing with
another little girl (her guardian angel in disguise), until Saint

Joseph sends her home. He gives her a rosebud and tells her she _

will see him again when it blooms. When the child returns she —

. finds an old woman seated by the door. Not three days, but 30

years have passed, and her mother has waited in the hope of see-

ing her child again. ‘‘All evening they sat happily together. Then .

they went to bed calmly and cheerfully, and next morning the
neighbors found them dead. They had fallen asleep, and between
them lay Saint Joseph’s rose in full bloom.”

How to describe Sendak’s work? His illustrations have to be
read as carefully as any text. His love of the natural world comes

‘through in the intricate and loving depiction of form and growth

in trees, shrubs, flowers, cloud formations which develop and
subtley change from page to page. Lowering above the idyllic
first scene is the black and glowing cloud spreading from the
war. When she rests (‘‘Oh, dear God, help your child to ‘go on.’’)
the double page illustration shows her pensive and absorbed,
while out of her sight a group of refugees crosses.a bridge, a
lowering tree trunk figure looks the other way, and her guardian
angel rests quietly in the knowledge that she is safe. At one point
Sendak includes a portrait of the master he reveres, as Mozart
lies recombant on the grass conducting a group of children. Sen-
dak’s delicate watercolors show him at the height of his powers,
interpreting and substantiating Grimm’s simple tale, The book is
a work of art. Dear Mill is published in Canada by William Col-

wetted

” Amos’ Sweater i isa funny, perfectly told tale about an old ram
who is fed up with loosing his fleece so that Aunt. Hatti can knit
sweaters, and the time comes when he rebels. It is possible to be
torn in two by this story. One can sympathize with Aunt Hatti
and her need for wool, while totally appreciating Amos and his
need for fleece. I will not spoil the story be telling more, you are
going to read this to smal] children and howl with laughter. Kin
La Fave's illustrations are perfectly in tune with Janet Lunn’s
story: poor Amos staring furiously at the sweater with bandaids
all over him from the shearing, or launching vicious attacks in an
attempt to regain his altered fleece right off Uncle Henry’s back.
Amos Sweater i is published. by Groundwood Books at $12. 25.

“T am as I am/And so is ‘a stone/And them as don’t like
me/Must leave me alone.’’ This little poem accompanies the
dedication to The Individualist at the beginning of a delightful
selection, culled from the Opie collection, Tai! Feathers from
Mother Goose. The Opies collected early and rare children’s
books from the time they began on The Oxford Dictionary of

_ Nursery Rhymes in 1942. This collection is considered the finest

in private hands, and it is planned to house it in the Bodlein
Library at Oxford where the Opies-began their work. Tail
Feathers from Mother Goose has been published to aid this ap-
peal. It is a collection of unusual versions of nursery rhymes,
almost all of which are unpublished. Each rhyme has been il-
lustrated by a well-known illustrator in their familiar style. Janet
Marsh’s gently observed watercolors, detailed with tiny ladybugs
and snails, contrasts with Michael Foreman’s rich splashes of col-
or; Ken Lilly’s soaring brown owl suggests power and speed,
while Nicola Bayley’s finely observed and executed vignettes
detail the paintbox people. This is a lovely collection, full of
vigor, color, light and sensitivity. Again it is a book which will
find a place on adults’ bookshelves as well as children’s eager
hands. Tail Feathers from Mother Goose is published by Ground-
wood Books’at $19.95.
