A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Painting is as much a part of the Moses family tradition as the family homestead in Eagle Bridge, New York. There Will Moses has painted since he was a little boy, learning firsthand from his grandfather, folk artist Forrest Moses, who learned from his mother, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, better known as Grandma Moses. Developing his own folk style, Will has become an internationally beloved artist in his own right, his art displayed in collections throughout the world, including that of the White House.

His first picture book, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a retelling of Washington Irving's famous tale, was published by Philomel in 1995.

Will Moses' studio is at the Mount Nebo Gallery and Farm in Eagle Bridge, where he lives with his wife, Sharon, and their three children.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is the story of Rip Van Winkle--that curious fellow, who with his dog, Wolf, ran away from a hard day's work to the Catskill Mountains only to discover in a forgotten valley a strange band of revelers who gave him a drink so powerful he slept for twenty years! His tale still haunts the Hudson River Valley. Indeed, the revelers' bowling pins can be heard in the thunder of the place to this very day.

Here is an unforgettable retelling by Will Moses, an artist of the upper Hudson River, who knows the valley, knows the man Van Winkle, and brings Washington Irving's classic tale stunningly to life with breathtaking landscapes and his unmistakable folk style.
