About the Author
Michael Bedard was born and raised in Toronto, where he still lives. His novels include Stained Glass, A Darker Magic, Painted Devil, and Redwork, which received the Governor General’s Literary Award and the Canadian Library Association’s Book of the Year Award for Children. He has also written several acclaimed picture books, including The Clay Ladies, which received the Toronto IODE Book Award, and Emily, a story about Emily Dickinson, illustrated by Barbara Cooney.
Barbara Cooney traveled the world, lived in a house by the sea in Maine, and made the world more beautiful through her art. She was a two-time Caldecott Medal winner, for Chanticleer and the Fox in 1959 and Ox-Cart Man in 1980. Her beloved book Miss Rumphius was the winner of the American Book Award in 1982. Barbara Cooney died in 2000 at the age of eighty-two.
From AudioFile
All facets of this program are in harmony. Barbara Cooney's magical illustrations and Christine Lahti's soft, compelling narration are perfect complements to Michael Bedard's story about Emily Dickinson and her small neighbor. The story is a good choice for recording. The narrative has plenty of substance and fine, evocative imagery not dependent on the pictures. Lahti projects the special sense of wonder and mystery that makes Bedard's story so memorable. Soft piano music accompanies the story but doesn't detract. Each part can stand alone, and yet when combined they present a rich aural and visual experience. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
