He is one of our national treasures. The Golden Books had some of the best -- Gergely, Tenggren (sp?), Rojankovsky. Good to see this posting. Now I'll look at the rest of your site!
this is amazing.
beautiful post, thank you.
Thanks! It was fun looking at some of his other work. I recently bought a little Golden Book for my grandson. His dad grew up with the series.
