About this title

About the Author:

Painting is as much a part of the Moses family tradition as the family homestead in Eagle Bridge, New York. There Will Moses has painted since he was a little boy, learning firsthand from his grandfather, folk artist Forrest Moses, who learned from his mother, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, better known as Grandma Moses. Developing his own folk style, Will has become an internationally beloved artist in his own right, his art displayed in collections throughout the world, including that of the White House.

His first picture book, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a retelling of Washington Irving's famous tale, was published by Philomel in 1995.

Will Moses' studio is at the Mount Nebo Gallery and Farm in Eagle Bridge, where he lives with his wife, Sharon, and their three children.

From AudioFile:

Storyteller Jay O'Callahan tells four original stories which began as entertainment for his children and now have become part of his repertoire. These are gentle, clever, rambling tales with a childlike point of view. They're characterized by occasional poetic phrases which delight the adult listener. O'Callahan uses a few different voices and whistles now and then. He sometimes talks too fast, but this can be overlooked. The sense of the story is never lost, and the listener's only regret might be that she missed the live performance. L.R.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
