Nurse Lugton's Curtain
Author(s): Virginia Woolf
Frozen in the pattern of a drawing-room curtain, a dreamlike world waits patiently while Nurse Lugton sews. As she dozes in the lamplight, the animals adorning the curtain nod to one another and slowly awaken, making their way toward a sparkling lake and a magical town.
This wondrous story by Virginia Woolf was found among the manuscript pages of her Mrs. Dalloway. Julie Vivas's glorious illustrations bring Mrs. Woolf's words to life to create a magical volume that will enchant children and adults alike.
Review(s):
"Had she wished to, in addition to her immortal achievements in other genres, Woolf could have written the greatest children's books of the age. There is much to suggest this,
beginning of course with her extaordinary powers of imagination and verbal invention,
the vividness and clarity of her prose, and the hushed, distilled quality that makes you
bring the book a little closer to your nose."--Sigrid Nuñez, The Mrs. Dalloway Reader
"A perfectly realized blend of text and illustration."--Kirkus Reviews
"A joyful tale of transformation."--Booklist
