Illustrated by
Angela Barrett.
Striking new illustrations in pencil, graphite, gouache, and muted watercolors bring this classic story to a new generation. Set in southeast England against the threatening backdrop of World War II, Gallico's tale describes the special relationship that develops between a solitary artist and a girl who grows to appreciate the deformed man's inner beauty.
