Geisert, Arthur

Country Road ABC: An Illustrated Journey Through America's Farmland

64 pp. | Houghton | May, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-19469-1 $17.00

(2) K-3 Geisert combines a fresh look at modern family farming in the Midwest with an unerring eye for detail. The continuous sixty-four-page panorama follows a road from the city into the country. As we travel, day is followed by night--and summer is followed by fall, and then winter. Geisert's fine intaglio line with delicate watercolor is ideally suited to both close-ups and wide vistas. Glos.
