Carolina Rabei’s whitewashed snowy scenes serve as the perfect backdrop for Georgian poet Walter de la Mare’s poem Snow. Her warm palette of reds, beiges, grays and blacks bring a buoyancy, joy and lightheartedness that make you want to engage in the cheerful raillery portrayed on the pages of this magical book.
“No breath of wind,
No gleam of sun –
Still the white snow
Whirls softly down”
Snow is from Walter de la Mare’s poetry collection Peacock Pie. This illustrated version is by Carolina Rabei and published by Faber & Faber.
