Enter the fascinating world of reclusive nature-lover Walter
Anderson -- perhaps the most famous American artist you've never
heard of.
Residents along the Mississippi Gulf Coast thought Walter Anderson
was odd, rowing across twelve miles of open water in a leaky skiff
to reach Horn, an uninhabited island without running water or
electricity. But this solitary artist didn't much care what they
thought as he spent weeks at a time on his personal paradise,
sleeping under his boat, sometimes eating whatever washed ashore,
sketching and painting the natural surroundings and the animals
that became his friends. Here Walter created some of his most
brilliant watercolors, work he kept hidden during his lifetime. In
a beautifully crafted picture book biography, writer Hester Bass
and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator E. B. Lewis pay homage to
an uncompromising American artist.
