LITERATURE
Field, Eugene W.

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod

(2) PS Illustrated by Giselle Potter. Potter's dreamlike art celebrates the mystery, love, and coziness of Field's soothing language and imagery. The pensive eyes of the eponymous figures match those of the child imagining them. The "river of crystal light" is deep-sea turquoise against an indigo sky; a diaphanous moonlit curtain becomes the boat's sail, while windowsill flowers in muted rose add a grace note of color.
