Illustrated by the famous graphic artist Andre Francois, Little Boy Brown is the greatest book about childhood loneliness of all time. It is also a classic that is ripe for rediscovery because of the lost New York City that it invokes and its contemporary feel. Little boy Brown loves elevators, tunnels, and subways. His friends are doormen and waiters. This is his own account of the wonderful day that he spends with Hilda, his family's maid, and her family in the country. The character of little boy Brown is completely real and moving, and his story lingers long after the last word has been read.
Isobel Harris was an American author and storyteller, and Little Boy Brown was her first book for children. She loved entertaining children and even composed music for them. Andre Francois was a French graphic designer and illustrator, who lived in New York for a while and did many covers for The New Yorker. He also studied with Picasso and created many cartoons and picture books for adults and children. Little Boy Brown was his first picture book to be published in the United States.
