Nancy`s guest is Paul O. Zelinsky, an American author and illustrator of children`s books. Zelinsky is one of the most highly acclaimed illustrators working today. He has received a Caldecott Medal for his telling of Rapunzel, and three Caldecott Honors, for Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, and Swamp Angel, which the New York Times Book Review called "in all ways superb." Zelinsky is noted not only for the richness and experimental nature of his artwork, but also for his versatility. As Zelinsky told Horn Book interviewers Sylvia and Kenneth Marantz, "I try to make the book talk, as it talks to me, and not worry whether it is in my style or not.... I get a kick out of doing each book differently."
