Dark Fiddler: The Life and Legend of Nicolo Paganini

32 pp. | Creative Editions | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56846-200-4 $17.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Gary Kelley. Paganini's life is told through a calculatedly creepy, unintentionally confusing blend of biography and the supernatural, as a gravedigger tells his assistant about the virtuoso nineteenth-century violinist and composer. An appended "postlude" does some (but not much) to help separate fact from speculation. Accomplished dark, brooding, strikingly angular illustrations are reminiscent of Paul Klee's paintings. Bib.
