Description
This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of Marguerite, a young girl who helps her father complete an important commission for his patron. With her assistance, he finishes the illumination of a book of hours, bringing joy to both himself and Lady Isabelle.
Featuring finely detailed artwork inspired by an illuminated manuscript from the Getty Museum's collection, this charming tale showcases Marguerite's resourcefulness and skill as she gathers materials and completes the intricate designs.
A lovely example of a traditional craft, this book is a delightful introduction to the art of illumination and the importance of family traditions.
