  • Super purchase

    Teachers....absolute prize for a creative writing assignment! I have used it in high school and students go wild....I let them select a picture to "write" the story that goes along with the pic. My young grandsons and I have had many conversations about what they thought the pics mean. Love this book!

  • A new portfolio edition offers the artwork from Chris Van Allsburg's The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, originally published in 1984, in loose oversized sheets. The enigmatic black-and-white drawings are each accompanied by a title and brief caption: for example," a picture of a nun placidly sitting in a chair floating in a cathedral is labeled ""THE SEVEN CHAIRS: The fifth one ended up in France."" The portfolio also includes a 15th drawing", discovered under circumstances as mysterious as the original set. A new Internet site, set to launch on October 28, will encourage the use of the pictures to seed creative writing assignments. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
