Yvonne Gilbert est l'une des illustratrices les plus prolifiques et acclamées de notre époque. Son travail, allant des illustrations de livres pour enfants aux timbres-poste en passant par les affiches et les pochettes de disques, témoigne d'une exploration et d'un intérêt constants pour la qualité des matériaux et des surfaces. Elle saisit avec maestria le scintillement d'une cape brodée ou la douceur de la peau d'un nouveau-né, faisant preuve d'un sens exceptionnel de la composition, des proportions et du détail. L'approche de Gilbert aboutit à des représentations visuelles somptueuses qui donnent vie à des mondes réels et imaginaires avec une profondeur et une richesse sensorielles remarquables.
A wonderfully illustrated collection of timeless myths and fairytales about horses and ponies. Perfect for horse and pony lovers, or children who simply want to be whisked away to a magical world of adventure.
From ancient times the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember. Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara’s home. And only a winter child—and the ice dragon who loved her—could save her world from utter destruction.
