About the Illustrator:
Winslow Homer (1836-1910) was an illustrator for many popular magazines, and for novels, sheet music covers, and 13 children's books. He is best known for his watercolors, and his stunning interpretations of the sea hold a unique place in the history of American art.
Maurice Sendak has illustrated more than 80 books for children, including Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, and Outside Over There.
Joseph W. Reed is professor English and American studies at Wesleyan University, and the author of Three American Originals: John Ford, William Faulkner, and Charles Ives and American Scenarios: The Uses of Film Genre. He is also an accomplished artist.
Review:
"Homer's seventeen drawings for this anonymous story, published in 1858, provide a revealing glimpse into the early career of one of America's most beloved artists."--The Horn Book Guide
"The Eventful History of Three Blind Mice, written by an anonymous author and illustrated by Homer, was meant to be a moral lesson for children of the time. Thanks to Homer's humor and whimsy, it is instead a rollicking adventure that literally 'gets away with murder.'"--Library Lane
"An American fable and the original wonderful artwork by a great American artist."--Rainbo Electronic Reviews
"The early volume showcases Homer's budding talent and hints at his subversive sense of humor."--Publishers Weekly
