It's nice...Susanne, welcome to the Great Raven. It's nice to be able to weave your own life into your writing. That's something I've never been able to do, so kudos to you both!<br /><br />Lan, it's a picture storybook, rather than an illustrated novel, but I do agree with you that there should be a lot more art in books. It's starting to happen again, such as in the gorgeously-illoed books in Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series. Books used to be illustrated, whatever the genre - look at the books of Dickens. I have a first British edition of Mark Twain's A Yankee At The Court of King Arthur and THAT was illoed too. :-)Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-9977413600732536512011-12-27T20:12:10.838-08:002011-12-27T20:12:10.838-08:00Sounds like a really interesting read.

All books should have illustrations regardless of genre and age!Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27643523.post-67639801387548216022011-12-27T19:45:44.498-08:002011-12-27T19:45:44.498-08:00My parents' stories are woven into Ships in th...My parents' stories are woven into Ships in the Field' as are Anna Pignataro's - we carry the past with us.
