On Monday, @tessakeath posted her gorgeous illustrated copy of The Pilgrim’s Progress and asked which books we have that are also works of art. Here’s mine: a 1919 edition of At the Back of the North Wind, written by George MacDonald and poetically illustrated by Jessie Wilcox Smith. Smith was a prolific illustrator during America’s Golden Age of illustration and was one of the Red Rose Girls who studied under Howard Pyle. Today also happens to be her birthday.
