Member: laytonwoman3rd
Explanations: laytonwoman3rd: I'm a big fan of Charles van Sandwyk's illustrations, and so even though I have a lovely edition of The Wind in the Willows already (illustrated by Robert Ingpen) I asked Santa for the Folio edition with CvS's art. Brilliant combination of realism and whimsy.
