The Complete Works of Doris Ellen Eisen: Volume II contains three children's stories that were written and illustrated for my grandchildren. All illustrations are original lithographs. Many of the lithographs are printed in full color, but some of the lithographs are hand-colored. Each story is individually summarized as follows: "Before the Night Became the Day" is the story of two little princess sisters who tiptoe out of their home to go on an adventure before their mother has gotten up. They are followed by their pug dog Newton, who is actually a very good babysitter. When a storm comes up the girls know they must get home quickly. The story is dream like and the full-color lithographs are meant to be magical. Whether the adventure is real or just a dream is not really defined. "Too Many Moons" is the story of a little girl who believes her success comes from a magical good luck charm she carries in her pocket. When she misplaces the charm she is frightened, but success comes to her because of her own efforts. The story is about understanding that success is often determined by feeling confident and persisting. Sometimes magical thinking can give us a boost, but we determine or own fate. All the illustrations are hand-colored lithographs. "Zach Goes Fast" is a simple story of a little boy who likes to go fast all the time. Sometimes Zach falls down as he races from place to place, but he always persists and picks himself up, and always enjoys his adventures. All of these illustrations are full-color lithographs, and some have hand coloring as well.
