5.0
Beautifully designed book, with solid color pages and full page reproductions of some of the paintings of all three Wyeth artists. Very eye-catching for young readers. Tells the story of the family from N.C. Wyeth's childhood through to present day, with the stories of his son Andrew and his grandson Jamie, who all became successful painters but also endured their share of tragedy. Many quotes--although the sources of the quotes are given on the author's website, not in the book itself, due to space considerations; this is something I'm not quite sure about, does that detract from the book's quality (it's kind of a "cheat") or add to it because it allows for more room for art and text? In any event, a fascinating book for a fascinating family.
