Alphabet

Alain Gr�e's beautiful illustrations from the 1960s and 70s are known throughout the world. With their naivety of form and bold use of color, their charm is undeniable. Part of a delightful series of books under GMC's children's imprint, Button Books, Alphabet features Alain Gr�e's stunning vintage illustrations on every page.

Aimed at children aged 2 to 5 years, Alphabet is a beautiful arlin-covered hardback with embossed artwork and jacket.
