Book Description
for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Ed Young
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Stunning art accompanying the full text of Coleridge's classic ballad turns an English classic frequently consigned to textbooks into an exciting personal reading adventure. The elegant 11 3 x 8 3" illustrated volume creates an appropriately eerie and alarming mood due to Young's striking art rendered in pastels and charcoal. A handsome edition, excellent as a family read-aloud. (Ages 9-13)
