In the Garden of My Dreams: The Art of Nathalie Lété

A Garden You Won't Want to Leave
This book should be at the top of the list for all Nathalie Lete fans and others who delight in cheerful illustration. The book has a luxe outer appearance thanks to the cushioned, fabric-like binding. A page marker has been thoughtfully added to help you remember your place after you have lost all track of time being mesmerized by this book and must leave it to do some mundane chore. The book is brimming with Ms. Lete's art with some diary-like explanations scattered about allowing the reader a glimpse into the mind of the artist. The scale of this book is just right--the illustrations are mostly full-page; large enough to enjoy to details that make Ms. Lete's work so endearing. Did I mention the two pages of stickers at the end of the book? What a treat!

Fabulous book... Love it!
Vibrant reproductions of Nathalie Lete's varied colorful folk art/old world illustatin. Enjoying looking at this over and over again. Great book for seasoned fans of the French artist as well as those wanting to become more familiar with her work in paint. Bunnies, gnomes, dolls, mushrooms, and flowers...it's all here done up in Natalie's signature style. Showing only paintings but delightful, enchanting and endearing. Printing is very good at capturing the quality of her work. Book is very sturdy, seemingly well made. Extremely pleased with my purchase.

Nathalie Lete fans will adore this book
Oh Nathalie, oh Nathalie, I really wish I could fill my home with your creations. What is it with the friggin French in that that they create the most insane art? Nathalie Lete’s work has such a range, from ceramics, to rugs, to embroidery and paintings along with many other types of media. This woman is such a poserhouse. Her designs are sweet and beautiful without being too cutesy. I love her newest book more than any other book I have recently ordered. So pour yourself a cup of something yummy and curl up in a chair perhaps with a cat on your lap and enjoy this beautiful book.

This book is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't really know who Lete was, but now I am a big fan. Her art is whimsical, colorful and beautiful. The book's hardcover is covered in fabric, there is a ribbon bookmark, and the pages are great quality. It would make a wonderful gift!

I have been a fan of Nathalie Lete's art for several years. This book is just fantastic because it gathers so much of her art in one place. Many vendors that feature items with her art on them are in Europe (as is she) so it's great to be able to order this and receive it quickly and from a known and trusted seller. I highly recommend - the art is gorgeous, whimsical and colorful. I'm thinking of ordering another to disassemble and frame some of the pix!
