Feodor Rojankovsky: a biography & catalogue raisonn¿e first and only book on the career and illustration art of Feodor Rojankovsky (1891-1970), the prolific Russian-American children''s artist and one of the most interesting personalities among modern children''s illustrators. The full view of his work reflects the sweep of his adventurous and cosmopolitan life. The book brings to light little-known aspects of the artist''s life, career, and work and should serve as the standard international reference work and collector''s guide for this popular illustrator. More than half of his books were illustrated after 1941, when in mid-career Rojankovsky emigrated to the United States from France and made the picture books for which Americans know him best. In 1956, Rojankovsky was winner of the prestigious Caldecott Medal for illustrating John Langstaff''s (Harcourt Brace, 1955), a book still in print. The artist''s early reputation as a children''s illustrator was made in France in the 1930s,
