Before Andrew and Jamie; there was N. C. Wyeth. The star student of Howard Pyles Brandywine School; Newell Convers Wyeth (1882ndash;1945) created more than 3;000 illustrations in the course of his career. This original full-color collection focuses on his most popular illustrations; featuring early works that date from 1910-30. More than 100 iconic images include scenes from The Last of the Mohicans; The Mysterious Stranger; Robin Hood; Robinson Crusoe; Rip Van Winkle; The Boys King Arthur; and other books.Wyeths fame and greatest commercial success derived from his work for Scribners Illustrated Classics. Starting with the 1911 edition of Treasure Island; the artist provided images for more than 25 volumes in the series. Many of those illustrations appear here; in a treasury of stirring; dramatic visions that captured the imaginations of the storybook readers of a century ago and continue to speak to modern audiences.

Rock on With Your Punk OutBy Angel RodriguesGot this as a gift for my husband for his birthday. He loves this topic.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Interesting.By andriellaI purchased this mostly for the interviews with Kathleen Hanna and Sleater-Kinney. but I ended up really enjoying the entire book. The interviews are always insightful and interesting. and a wide variety are included...Noam Chomsky was one that I wasnt expecting to find.There are thirty interviews in all. so this is definitely good value for the price.
