Kitty Crowther

    4 aprile 1970

    Le illustrazioni di Kitty Crowther catturano l'essenza del movimento e dell'emozione con una linea semplice e pura e un tratto leggero. Il suo stile, non appesantito da schizzi meticolosi, si affida alla memoria visiva per rappresentare gesti e atteggiamenti che l'hanno profondamente toccata. Crowther non è interessata a riprodurre la realtà, ma a reinventare l'esperienza, privilegiando la veridicità rispetto alla convalida esterna. Il suo lavoro nasce da esperienze personali profondamente sentite, che si sforza di ricreare con fedeltà, trovando bellezza ed energia uniche nella loro ricreazione.

Illustrated in the inimitable style of Kitty Crowther, which is at once both dark and sweet, these charming creatures will ingratiate themselves to even the most hardened cynic. Mia is picking flowers at the bottom of the garden. Someone is watching her. Who on earth could it be? The next day, she returns and at the foot of the tree she spots a strange ladder...

      Malá smrt je nešťastná: nikdo ji nemá rád, všichni se jí bojí, lidé, které převádí do svého království, jsou smutní, vzdychají a je jim zima. Jednoho dne si ale malá smrt dojde pro Evelínu a od té doby je všechno jinak. Konečně jste tady! vzkřikne holčička, když ji vidí... Jak s malým dítětem mluvit o smrti? Co mu říct... Kitty Crowter je přirozená vypravěčka, nebojí se dětem otevřít tak složité téma, jako je konec života, a dělá to s vrozeným citem pro dětský svět. -- zdroj: kosmas.cz --

      Chtít něco vlastnit a mít to jen pro sebe, nejlépe něco malého, chlupatého, roztomilého nebo krásného, to je odvěký sen všech dětí. Některým se ale ne a ne splnit. Možná proto, že rodiče dobře vědí, že mít nějaké zvíře není jen tak.
