Award-winning author, critic, and scholar of children's books Leonard S. Marcus is unmatched in his skill as an interviewer of children's-book makers. In these fourteen encounters with landmark creators of picture books-Mitsumasa Anno, Ashley Bryan, Eric Carle, Tana Hoban, Karla Kuskin, James Marshall, Robert McCloskey, Iona Opie, Helen Oxenbury, Jerry Pinkney, Maurice Sendak, William Steig, Rosemary Wells, and Charlotte Zolotow-Marcus's expertise elicits the formative experiences, the insights, the full weight of life lived in and out of art that shape the work of each. Full of humor, candor, and personal voice, this remarkable book delves into the creative process, the nature of childhood, and bookmaking in the culture of our times. It will be cherished by lovers of children's literature.
