Age of Dreams

Alicia Austin's Age of Dreams is a book of contrasts. Its art is clever, brilliant, spectacular, in presenting ever-so-soft pastels, magnificently vivid colours, Mayan garners from a pre-Columbian age, and delicate mysteries of the orient. Here, too, are colourful Japanese costumes, Persian intricacies, dragons, knights, wizards, done in color and precise line, with an eye for design which has not been equalled for many a year.

Alicia Austin's Age of Dreams is a book of beauty - a book to peruse time and again.
