Up in the Tree

<p><p>playful, Whimsical, And Wry, Margaret Atwood&#8217;s Story About Two Children Who Live Up In A Tree Has Attained Classic Status. When This Charming Book Was First Published In 1978, Conventional Wisdom Stated That It Was Too Expensive And Risky To Publish A Children&#8217;s Book In Canada. So Atwood Not Only Wrote And Illustrated The Book Herself, She Also Hand-lettered The Type! The Original Edition Of Up In The Tree Was Created The Old-fashioned Way, Using Only Two Colors That Mixed Together To Produce A Surprisingly Large Range Of Tones And Textures, And This Painstakingly Created Facsimile Edition Delivers Intact To Readers Young And Old The Unique Pleasures Of The Original. A Wonderful Story In A Beautiful Package, <i>up In The Tree</i> Is Now Ready For A New Generation Of Readers.<p></p><h3>child Magazine</h3><p>yes, That Margaret Atwood.
