The Golden Cockerel by Elaine Pogany
A war-weary king strikes a bargain with a wizard and his supernatural bird in this enchanting fable from old Russia. Elaine Pogany's adaptation of the beloved story by Alexander Pushkin sweeps readers of all ages into a lively tale that unfolds against a colorful panorama of palaces and forests populated by princesses, peasants, and soldiers.This classic work receives a stunning artistic treatment from one of the masters of book illustration, Willy Pogany, whose evocative pictures adorn many of the pages. Full-page color images, along with striking black-and-white drawings, depict memorable scenes from a timeless tale of magic and adventure.
In addition to his work as an illustrator of classics, Hungarian-born artist Willy Pog�ny (1882-1955) served as an art director on several Hollywood films, including Fashions of 1934 and Dames. He was also an author and teacher whose instructive manuals include Dover's Drawing Lessons. Stories by Elaine Pog�ny include Peterkin and Scrambled Eggs. She posed for many of her husband's most famous paintings and murals.
