The Green Fingers of Monsieur Monet by Giancarlo Ascari

Monet's lavish paintings are re-imagined in zesty, energetic and amusing ways with illustrations that younger readers will find amusing and engaging. They tell the story of Monet and his garden: his arrival; the country clothes he wore; the bright Japanese prints he collected; how the Impressionist artist painted outdoors, rain or shine; the thousands of seed-packets he ordered; his gardeners, who had to leave Giverny to go to war... Spread by spread the garden is explained and built up with Ascari's and Valentinis's original illustrations, which take Monet's work as their starting point and transform it in beautiful and unexpected ways.
