These illustrations perfectly capture how I thought the characters would look. I loved the small details in the pictures such as the artists name so perfectly integrated into the images. ( ) The paintings are absolutely beautiful; she's really captured the spirit of the characters. I particularly like the character analysis that accompanies each portrait. It adds a great depth to the understanding of the character. I'll use the commentary with students next time I get to teach Dragonsong. The People of Pern is a compilation of portraits of Anne McCaffrey's most popular Pern characters and short blurbs on each from McCaffrey herself. The artist, Robin Wood, does a nice job of capturing the descriptions their creator provides. Most of Pern's people are shown against a monotone background, but a few favorites like Robinton, Sebell, Menolly, F'lar, and Lessa get lovely backdrops rich with detail that will please the diehard Pern fan. For example, Rocky and Diver in Menolly's portrait are shown clasping a rockmite and diving respectively. For bonus points you can play Spot the 80's Actor as many of the characters are based on contemporary famous faces. McCaffrey notes suggesting this to Wood to save time when preparing the book. Unfortunately, some of McCaffrey's words don’t quite jive with Wood's paintings. Sharra, for example, is depicted as a classical beauty next to text which seems to detail a completely different face. The text was written after the portraits were completed, so one can't really lay too much blame on the Artist. Wood is obviously a fan of McCaffrey's wonderful books and her work shows it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
