Illustrated by
Charles Santore.
Adult fans of the classic sentimental story will be pleased that this edition contains the original, unabridged text, though it makes for a lengthy picture-book narrative. Fans of Santore's realistic style of painting will also be pleased: the large trim size of the volume adds to the drama of the artist's detailed, if stiff and formal, illustrations.
