Little frida: a story of frida kahlo, hardcover/anthony browne

Description Young Frida Kahlos imaginary friend comes to life in a touching story by Anthony Browne enhanced by exquisite surreal illustrations.

Following a bout with polio at the age of six, Frida Kahlos life was marked by pain and loneliness.

In real life she walked with a limp, but in her dreams she flew.

One day her imagination took her on a journey to a girl in white who could dance without pain and hold her secrets, an indelible figure who would find her way into Fridas art in years to come.

Inspired by Frida Kahlos diary, Anthony Browne captures the essence of the artists early flights of fancy and depicts both Frida and her imaginary friend in vivid illustrations evoking Kahlos iconic style.

A note at the end offers a brief biography of the artist who has intrigued art lovers the world over.
