The Underside of the Leaf

"Funny in a bittersweet way." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (recommended)

"Playing with paper dolls one moment and imagining vague sexual encounters the next--a memorable portrait." --Book World

Daisy Summerfield's Style

" Daisy Summerfield is] determined to become an honest artist, and the detailing of her life, culminating in a sweet surprise, makes the book a real page-turner." --Publishers Weekly

"For someone whose idea of style even in 1959 is to change her first name and stick matching cardboard daisies on her luggage, Daisy Summerfield comes a long way in short time. You'll like her from the start though, this wide-eyed Midwesterner . . . It's a proper fairy-tale ending, confirming for the skeptical that Daisy is an artist indeed--but by then it couldn't be clearer that the real joy is all in getting there." --Kirkus Reviews

Two sensitive and funny portraits of young women determined to be artists and coming of age in the late 1950s, M. B. Goffstein's novels for young adults are available again--published together for the first time in one volume.

Описание:

"It's good to have a Goffstein," said The New York Times Book Review. Here's something even better--twenty-six of M. B. Goffstein's best-known, and best-loved, books for children and adults.

Groundbreaking when first published, and perhaps more resonant today than ever, Goffstein's work champions the value of simplicity, nature, self-reliance, spiritual connections, and living a creative life. With humor and insight, Goffstein enlarges our world from seemingly small details. With lyrical artist biographies, poetic gems, stories of family and making one's way in the world, Words Alone is also a celebration of a singular writer and artist.

The text of each story is published without the original illustrations because Ms. Goffstein believed the words stood alone. This collection includes: The Gats , Sleepy People, Brookie and Her Lamb, Across the Sea, Goldie the Dollmaker, Two Piano Tuners, A Little Schubert, Me and My Captain, Fish for Supper, My Crazy Sister, Family Scrapbook, My Noah's Ark, Natural History, Neighbors, Laughing Latkes, An Artist, Lives of the Artists, A Writer, My Editor, Our Snowman, School of Names, Artists' Helpers Enjoy the Evenings, Artists' Helpers Visit New York, An Actor, A House, a Home, and Sweet Sleep Canoe

Originally published for children, but always intended just as much for adults, this collection will be appreciated by anyone who appreciates a small story, perfectly told.

This is one of four volumes in the collected writing of M. B. Goffstein series: Words Alone: Twenty-Six Books Without Pictures, Art Girls Together: Two Novels, Daisy Summerfield's Art: The Complete Flea Market Mysteries, and Biography of Miss Go Chi: Novelettos & Poems
