Review - "Cann matches Milligan's deceptively easy mix of intimacy and awe with her clear, slightly stylised watercolours. ... Borders along the bottom incorporate Celtic motifs, echoed within the illustrations with such patterns as the Druid's flowing locks of white hair, the sheep's curling wool, the striping on the ram's horns.” (Starred)
Publisher's Weekly
Based on the legend of St Brigid which begins in Ireland and travels to the Middle East, I was inspired by Celtic and Arabic decorative arts. Every picture has a border incorporating the patterns and colours of both these cultures. |
