'This handsome book makes a beguiling introduction to the painter.'
Review:
'Sweet\'s relaxed watercolor style and skillful incorporation of collage, plus a lively narration that illuminates Audobon\'s passion for observation and sets his pivotal insight into context, make this appealing vignette a fine introduction to his work.'
