Purchase options and add-ons

Betsy Beinecke Shirley, one of the great collectors of American children’s literature, gathered a peerless collection of books, original illustrations, manuscripts, and ephemera. This gorgeously illustrated book presents over 200 selected original artworks from the enchanting collection she bequeathed to the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University.

Guiding the reader on a lively tour through the stages of childhood reading, this volume begins with ABCs and nursery books. It continues through adventure stories, magazines, and more, then concludes with a miscellany section of wonderful odds and ends. The delightfully varied images demonstrate how children’s books evolved, from the nation’s first days of independence to our own times. Artists whose works are represented include many beloved favorites, among them Ludwig Bemelmans, Maurice Sendak, A. B. Frost, Wanda Gag, Peter Newell, N. C. Wyeth, Tony Sarg, Robert Lawson, and Johnny Gruelle.

From variant illustrations for Goodnight Moon and Where the Wild Things Are to little-known sketches for nineteenth-century periodicals that delighted generations of children, Drawn to Enchant offers a unique opportunity to study the reading lives of children throughout American history. Just as important, it invites each reader to recollect favorite images from the treasured books of his or her own childhood.

Marco Antonio Abarca
5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Catalogue of Children's Art
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2010
Betsy Beinecke Shirley was a book collector with deep pockets and a good eye. She amassed a collection of some of the best children's book art produced in the last 150 years. Upon her death, she donated her collection to the Beinecke Rare Book Library at Yale University. "Drawn to Enchant" is a catalogue of her best paintings and illustrations. The book also includes short biographical pieces on the featured artists. If you are looking for an academic history of children's book art, this volume is not for you. More than anything else, "Drawn to Enchant" is a showcase of a serious collector's life work. This is a beautifully produced book printed on good paper and will be a nice addition to anyone's library. Recommended.
