“Anderson grows from boy to man in a series of sensitive and often dreamlike pictures.  Gracefully drawn and softly lit, the illustrations create a sense of another world through sepia and pale blue tones sparked with brighter colors.”

Booklist

“Nolan creates wonderful textured illustrations in grayed colors heightened with white, like master drawings on sepia-toned backgrounds.”

Kirkus Reviews

“The artist’s work seems ideally suited to move fluidly from biographical moments to storybook images.”

Publisher’s Weekly

“This is a carefully crafted, lovely, and loving tribute to the father of the modern fairy tale.”
