The Faithful Friend
illustrated by Brian Pinkney, written by Robert D. San Souci, and published by Simon & Schuster
About
"Brian Pinkney's distinctive illustrations evoke the mystery, magic, and romance in Robert San Souci's retelling of this West Indian folktale. Pinkney's unique scratchboard style, enhanced by vivid oil colors, is a superb match for this atmospheric story. Changes in perspective underline the solidarity of the friendship between the main characters as they confront and ultimately overcome the dark forces of evil."
