About the Author
Paul Galdone was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1914 and emigrated to the United States in 1928. After finishing his studies at the Art Student League and the New York School of Industrial Design, Mr. Galdone worked in the art department of a major publishing house. There he was introduced to the process of bookmaking, an activity that was soon to become his lifelong career.
Before his death in 1986, Mr. Galdone illustrated almost three hundred books, many of which he himself wrote or retold. He is fondly remembered for his contemporary style, bright earthy humor, and action-filled illustrations, which will continue to delight for generations to come.
From Publishers Weekly
Gathering four timeless tales with pictures by Caldecott Honor artist Paul Galdone into one handsomely designed volume, Nursery Classics: A Galdone Treasury shows off the illustrator's wit, whimsy and masterful use of detail. In "The Three Little Pigs," the precocious porkers turn the tables on the leering wolf; the opening pages of "The Three Bears" show the main characters smiling knowingly at the reader, while the "Little Wee Bear" holds his teddy close. An introduction by Leonard S. Marcus offers a glimpse into Galdone's personal history and artistic style.
