Synopsis:
Written in 1848, this beloved hymn celebrating the wonders of Creation is given new life in Anna Vojtech's glowing interpretation. Lushly detailed paintings follow two children and their frisky pup through a bucolic landscape of meadows, hills, rivers, streams, and woods. Throughout the seasons, the youngsters explore and enjoy the wealth of treasures to be found -- things bright and beautiful, great and small, wise and wonderful, the glory of it all.
About the Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) was born in Ireland. She began writing verse at an early age. She was influenced by Dr. Hook, Dean of Chichester, and subsequently by John Keble, who edited her Songs for Little Children, in which "All Things Bright and Beautiful" first appeared. She published numerous religious tracts and hymns as well as several volumes of poetry for adults and children. Anna Vojtech was born in Prague, in what is now the Czech Republic. She has worked as an editor, an illustrator, a film animator, and a set designer. She lives with her family in Magnolia, Massachusetts.
