Emily Carr: At the Edge of the World

Emily Carr is an inspiration to women, artists, authors. She produced powerful art that stands on its own and also lets us see a part of the world that was, when she painted it, isolated. We see the totems, long houses, the forests, still isolated and many no longer in existence. This book provides a brief glance, mostly through the art work, of north western BC at the beginning of the 20th century and of a way of life that is gone. It also provides an overview of Emily's art.

Great to read for yourself or to teach your kids about this great artist.

Interesting book. I'm not sure if it's aimed at children or adults. The pictures are pretty, the writing is informative but not interesting.

one of the best children's book I've ever read to my grandchildren

I purchased this for a friend - it is very nice - some great images of her keys works.
