The images found in old children's books are at the heart of our publishing venture; reproducing these illustrations and sharing them with our customers is a continuing pleasure. While we generally produce an image singly, on a notecard, in a calendar, or in a book with other, only loosely related, illustrations, here we have undertaken to reproduce one of our library's treasure as a faithful facsimile of the original. We feel that The Three Bears, originally published in 1928 and illustrated by Frances Brundage is a grand choice for reproduction. It is a classic story, undertaken by many illustrators drawn to its suspenseful elements and narrative thrust. Brundage is, like most American illustrators of her era rather unappreciated but her work in The Three Bears is lovely and gentle. The bears are essentially sweet, rather than menacing, while Goldilocks is more a charming imp than a destructive brat. The bears' home is appropriately lovely, as is its unwelcome human visitor. Despite the havoc Goldilocks wreaks, one does not sense that any serious damage has been done.
