Harp o' Gold

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jill Weber. Tom, a poor wandering minstrel, trades his worn but true-sounding harp for one of gold, thinking it will improve his fortune. He becomes harpist to the king but misses the freedom of his past life. Acrylic paintings rendered in a blue-green palette with flat tilty perspectives complement this bittersweet cautionary tale set in an Irish-looking countryside.
Reviewer: Pamela McCuen
