Valentine and Orson
New York, NY, U.S.A. Farrar Straus & Giroux 1989., 1989. Fine. in Very Good+ dj. 0374380783 VALENTINE & ORSON is the classic story of twin brothers who are separated at birth. One is raised in the royal court of Pepin, King of France; the other, in a forest by a bear. The chivalric knight, Valentine, and the wild man, Orson, meet as enemies, become friends, and together seek to discover their true identities. Aided by their companion, Pacolet, with his magic horse and timely enchantments, they contend with the fearsome Green Knight, the giant Farragus, and the mysterious Brazen Head. The truth of their origins is finally revealed, and their quest leads to a joyful reunion. Cast as a folk play, narrated by Pacolet and performed by itinerant players in sixteenth-century Flanders - Bruegel's world - Valentine & Orson revives the narrative rhythms of the great medieval romances. It demands to be read aloud! In rhythmic paintings and verse, Nancy Ekholm Burkert re-creates the spirit and essence of this epic romance with its messagf for all ages and all times. IN HIS INTRODUCTION to The Art of Nancy Ekholm Burkert, Michael Danoff praises her art for its "exquisite detail, precision, and delicacy -as highly ordered and rooted in traditional craftsmanship and discipline as any classically trained Renaissance artist." This description applies equally well to her poetry. A generation has admired her illustrations for works by Roald Dahl, Hans Christian Andersen, the Grimm brothers, Edward Lear, and Emily Dickinson. Now they will delight in and applaud her most ambitious and stunning work to date, Valentine &o Orson. NANCY EKHOLM BURKERT'S most recent book with Farrar, Straus and Giroux is Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs, a Caldecott Honor book. She lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 1st Edition Stated. Binding is HARDCOVER. Bookseller Inventory # 7696 Price $50.00
