"The wit, humanity, and many-sided talent of Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) are on full display in his classic autobiography, written with hs son Tom Rockwell ... The artist's New York City boyhood, his apprentice days at the Art Students League, his first fateful visit to the Saturday Evening Post, his adventures abroad, his move to rural Vemont--all are recounted with a mix of sharp observation and self-deprecating humor ... This definitive edition--edited by Abigail Rockwell, the artist's granddaughter--restores the original 1960 text, ... as well as the playful vignettes that Rockwell drew to head each chapter ... It is also illustrated with 170 of Rockwell's paintings and drawings, some of them rarely--or never--seen before"--Dust jacket flap.
