Description

Originally published in 1986. Ted Harrison use his signature broad brushstrokes and unconventional choice of colour to bring this gritty narrative poem by Robert Service to life. Evoking both the spare beauty and the mournful solitude of the Yukon landscape, Harrison's paintings proved the perfect match for Service's masterpiece about a doomed prospector adrift in a harsh land. Harrison's Illustrator's Notes on each page enhanced both poem and illustrations by adding valuable historical background. Upon its original publication, many recognised the book as an innovative approach to illustrating poetry for children. For years THE CREMATION OF SAM MCGEE has stood out as a publishing landmark, losing none of its appeal both as a read-aloud and as a work of art This twentieth anniversary edition is a deluxe hardcover-- complete with a spot-varnished cover, new cover art and heavy coated stock -- of a book that remains as entrancing as a night sky alive with the vibrant glow of the Northern Lights.
