Gorges that plummet into serpentine shadows . . . Cloaks of white that drape the rocky crags of snowy mountains . . . In this magnificent celebration of country, Bronwyn Bancroft uses colours, shapes, patterns and words to explore the awe-inspiring beauty of the Australian continent, and to express the depth of her feelings for it. The Art in Country: A Treasury for Children is an essential addition to any young Australian' s library, and a perfect introduction to the many wonders that this country has to offer. This is a treasury to be cherished by all who love this land.
