This hard-cover version of Tapestry Tales contains stories that delight and entertain both children and adults alike. With charm and imagination, the adventures in them take the reader to places as far apart as the mountains of Switzerland, the peaks in the Californian desert, and the volcanoes on the islands of Hawaii. Enter an enchanted space "Between-The-Worlds-Of-The-World" where art reigns supreme, children are heroes and art-loving dragons are real. A world where the mystery of a disappearing mosaic is solved, a tapestry escapes destruction by fire, and a magical dress of flowers is saved from being destroyed. THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK: Tapestry Tales is essentially an art book in the form of a children's story book. It contains art and stories created from 2006 to 2014 for a group of children in The Netherlands and the United States, who are part of the Tante Kulov Art Fund project. As the book's introduction describes in detail, stories were not part of the original project. But after the art intended for the first two children of the art fund goes missing, Robert Bramwell-Jones - the London-based artist commissioned to create the art - writes a whimsical explanation of how it disappears. In the story, he introduces the reoccurring characters of the friendly, art-loving Draga Dragons, who simply love to steal art. Tapestry Tales represents the first phase of the Tante Kulov Art Fund project. During these eight years, the stories get longer and more elaborate. New characters start popping up as well. Of course, each tale revolves around, as well as incorporates, the personality and interests of each of the children in the fund, but the stories are also universal. The theme of the importance and value of art and culture is constant throughout. ART MAKES CHILDREN POWERFUL!
