Illustrated by
Julie Vivas.
Woolf's imagination and Vivas's interpretation make a felicitous combination in this short tale--probably written in 1924 and first published in 1965--about the patterns on a curtain that come alive after Nurse Lugton, who is sewing it, falls asleep. Vivas's soft palette imaginatively reinforces the magical elements of the story in this slightly redesigned edition.
