Garth Williams

    Garth Williams reste à jamais célèbre comme l'illustrateur qui a donné une forme inoubliable à des personnages de fiction bien-aimés. Sa touche artistique a donné vie à l'élégante souris Stuart Little, à l'aimable araignée Charlotte, à son ami Wilbur, ainsi qu'à d'innombrables animaux, créatures fantastiques et enfants. Bien que Williams ait également écrit plusieurs livres pour enfants, c'est principalement son style illustratif unique et sa capacité à insuffler aux personnages des personnalités distinctes qui ont cimenté son héritage. Son travail a également démontré le pouvoir de l'art pour engager le dialogue sociétal.

      Focusing on the U.S. military's development of special aircraft types during World War II, including many experimental aircraft and one-off secret projects, this book shows how U.S. aviation designs and weapons progressed under the pressure of global warfare. From the state-of-the-art aircraft at the beginning of the war, to the advances during the conflict, each special type is covered in detail: armed photo reconnaissance, catapult launched seaplanes, naval floatplanes, autogyros, and special-operations armed drones. Often described as less glamorous than fighters and bombers, these special types of WWII combat aircraft offer a unique contribution to military aviation and aeronautical advancement.

      Famed for her many adventures, Frances made her debut with this title over thirty years ago. In this first Frances book, the little badger adroitly delays her bedtime with requests for kisses and milk, and concerns over tigers and giants and things going bump in the night. Long a favorite for the gentle humor of its familiar going to bed ritual, Bedtime for Frances is at last available with the warmth of full color enriching Garth Williams' s original nuanced and touching art. ' Here is the coziest, most beguiling bedtime story in many a day.' -- Kirkus Reviews (pointer).

      This is the delightfully warm and enjoyable story of an old Parisian named Armand, who relished his solitary life. Children, he said, were like starlings, and one was better off without them.But the children who lived under the bridge recognized a true friend when they met one, even if the friend seemed a trifle unwilling at the start. And it did not take Armand very long to realize that he had gotten himself ready-made family; one that he loved with all his heart, and one for whom he would have to find a better home than the bridge.Armand and the children's adventures around Paris - complete with gypsies and a Santa Claus - make a story which children will treasure.
