Annotation:
This book is a survey of children’s picturebooks from twenty-four countries. The author notes that this is not a “technical or psychological handbook.” The primary purpose of this text is to illuminate the artistic variations of the medium of picturebooks across a range of nations. Abstracts concerning the authorship and art of picturebooks for each nation are provided. Supplementary bio-bibliographical material appears at the end of the text. Hürlimann promotes the picturebook as serious art.
