No priority/international, except by arrangement. "Imagine keeping a secret for decades. People have always known Ashley Bryan as a celebrated artist, storyteller, writer - a legend. But there was a role Ashley had that almost no one knew: soldier. In 1943, at nineteen years old, Ashley was drafted out of art school and into World War II. During his service he was the technical sergeant with charcoal pencils and paper stuffed into his gas mask; a friend and art teacher to the children of Boston, where he was first stationed; an art student in Scotland; and the unofficial portrait painter of his fellow soldiers - the very same ones with whom he was a part of Operation Overlord at Omaha Beach on D-Day. But despite his many attributes, Ashley was still seen in one particular way: as being Black. For years Ashley faced the… Read More

Description:
New York: Atheneum Books for Young Readers. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2019. First Edition. Hardcover. 9781534404908 . Both book and dustjacket are in pristine condition. The author was known as a celebrated artist, storyteller, writer - a legend. But there was a role Ashley had that almost no one knew: soldier. In 1943, at nineteen years old, Ashley was drafted out of art school and into World War II. During his service he was the technical sergeant with charcoal pencils and paper stuffed into his gas mask; a friend and art teacher to the children of Boston, where he was first stationed. Filled with never-before-seen artwork, handwritten letters to his dear Cooper Union classmate Eva, and sketchbook-journal entries, this heartrending, soaring memoir is both an extraordinary piece of history - and a lesson in hope. [dust jacket] "Bryan's sketches and gouaches are the mainstay of this book, ostensibly for young readers but a serious, informative plain-spoken narrative,… Read More
