VISIONS of ADVENTURE provides a fascinating and nostalgic collection of an era of unique creativity in American illustration, bringing insights of leading experts in the field together with the best reproductions of the work of the great artists of the Brandywine School. Led by Howard Pyle and N. C. Wyeth, these men were giants of their era -- often more famous than the authors whose books and stories they depicted. Their talent and skill brought life to places and times no modern media has touched.
