책 내용

Charlotte Dematons, known for her well-loved picture book The Yellow Balloon, grew up in France, but moved to the Netherlands to study art as so many have before her. With the eye of an outsider but a warm heart for the country that became her new home, Charlotte Dematons paints with a keen eye for the detail for everything that makes The Netherlands so Dutch.

It"s easy to see how New York was first New Amsterdam when delving into modern-day Holland. The idiosyncrasies that make Holland so unique are revealed: from pensionada in unisex rain jackets on their bikes to a grandmother with her walker, skating on the ice, between the scenes of Avercamp, Bruegel and Bosch – and of course the multicultural Dutch society revealed and celebrated with wit and warmth.

Also Available: Holland and 1000 Things About Holland set (picture book hardcover with accompanying paperback) $29.95.1000 Things About Holland explains all the details of every amazing picture, making this book both an I Spy book and an armchair travel guide for anyone already fond of this small country of tulips, windmills and so much more. 20140221_03_01.jpg

출판사 보도자료

This is truly a picture book treasure capturing the essence of The Nederlands in kaleidoscopic colors. The author writes with paints illustrating the various aspects of Holland in brilliant captivating colors and drawings. Charlotte Dematons is intoxicated with all aspects of the Dutch people and countryside, each page in this giant-sized book is filled with aerial pictures of different aspects of the country. From the city with its canals, busy streets filled with bicycles and assortments of inhabitants to the coast and then into the countryside, and of course the colorful tulip fields. Every season is captured from fall in the countryside, winter on frozen ponds with ice skates and snow flurrying down at holiday time, spring with the thaw and leaves burgeoning, and summer at the water. It is a beautiful picture book which captures the essence of Holland and it is up to the reader to find the stories in these bewitching illustrations. There is no text with the engaging artwork.
