Description
William Morris was a maker of beautiful, useful things. His colorful wallpapers and textiles were inspired by the English forests and wild foliage where he grew up. But he was also a poet, a painter, a preservationist, an activist, an environmentalist, and a maker of many other beautiful, useful things, like books. Beth Kephart's poetic picture book introduces a notable Englishman whose life and work are unfamiliar to most American children. The book features Melodie Stacey's graceful illustrations, which reflect elements of Morris' artistic work as well as his affinity for nature. A harmonious picture book with poetic text and delicate illustrations, Beautiful Useful Things is a lovely introduction to a notable figure whose life and work are worth exploring.
