Mister Vincent's Christmas Tree: An Impressionistic Fable About Vincent van Gogh Details
Mister Vincent's Christmas Tree is a fable--a story meant to entertain as well as to teach. It is a portrait of the famous artist Vincent van Gogh that involves real people and places in the life of the artist--Postmaster Joseph Roulin, the Potato Eaters, Langlois Bridge, the Yellow House--and weaves together events that may or should have happened along with some that are entirely imagined. This story was written for everyone--young and old, rich and poor--who loves art, color, good stories, and, especially, the spirit of giving joy. Make this story and this beautifully designed book part of your Christmas celebrations--this year and every year.

Reviews
Hardy gives us such layers of textured images, it is as if his thoughts are from the brushstroke of the artist himself. He speaks in colors, he sketches with words, he whispers nuance, as if he is living within each painting. Hardy, at his core, is a poet. I highly recommend his poetry collection, Natural History (interpretations of Flora and Fauna). But here, he shares his poet’s eye for detail by shaping characters, each simple and yet with a deeper dimension hiding behind their faces and conversations. A beautiful Christmas tale, richly told.
