"Andy And The Lion" Story and Pictures by James Daugherty (published by Scholastic Book Services, New York 1968 - Originally published by The Viking Press Inc. 1938) Part 3



This book is packed with James Daugherty's wacky and funny pictures (I counted 45!). I was so impressed with all the energy and excitement created by the artist's skilful drawing. The book was re-printed several times since its original publication in the late 1930's and is probably a classic by now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_the_Lion  Here is an excellent website dedicated to the life and work of  James Daugherty (born in Asheville, North Carolina 1887-1974) who, apart from the large volume of  published books (both written and illustrated by him), he was a significant American artist and a muralist: https://daughertyfoundation.com/
