(3) 4-6 This collection of unpublished sketches is a treasure trove filled with fantastic, slightly creepy--yet endearing--creatures and provides a fascinating look into Tan's artistic processes. After Tan's introduction, the sketches, paintings, and dummy pages are organized into four sections: "untold stories," "book, theater, and film," "drawings from life," and "notebooks." A list of works included gives further information on each piece. Bib.
