Farrar, Straus & Giroux
for The Apprentice by Pilar Molina Llorente, 1993, translated from the Spanish by Robin Longshaw
About
"With reluctance, thirteen-year-old Arduino's father arranges for his son to become an apprentice to a talented, but cruel, master painter," said Wendy G. Ramsey, chair of the Batchelder Award Committee. "Set in Renaissance Florence, this is a story of mystery and intrigue, skillfully interwoven with a picture of the difficult life of a struggling young artist."
