Brian brought me another one for my collection the other night. Baskin certainly loved birds, especially crows. I bet he painted hundreds of crows over his lifetime. Baskin and Ted Hughes were buddies since the very beginning of Hughes career, therefore Baskin illustrated most of the early editions of his books. This is one of them.
Soon I hope to also own a book about owls illustrated by Baskin. Soon I will have no more room in my house for books on owls illustrated by Baskin. Soon I will have no more money for books on owls illustrated by Baskin. Soon this blog will be called "I love Leonard Baskin."
