Product Description
Paris in the 1400s. A young girl named Marguerite delights in assisting her father, Jacques, in his craft: illuminating manuscripts for the nobility of France. His current commission is a splendid book of hours for his patron, Lady Isabelle, but will he be able to finish it in time for Lady Isabelle s name day? In this richly illustrated tale, Marguerite comes to her father s aid. She journeys all over Paris buying goose feathers for quills, eggs for mixing paints, dried plants and ground minerals for pigments. Then she expertly finishes the illumination of Lady Isabelle s book, to the delight of her father and his patron. This delightful book, brought to life by the finely detailed, evocative art of a renowned children s artist, was inspired by an illuminated manuscript in the collection of the Getty Museum.
