The Page as a Stageset: Storyboard Picture Books

by Amy E. Spaulding

Overview

The picture shares much with the comic book ("graphic novel") and the storyboard, which coordinates the visual and verbal elements of film.

Spaulding examines a group of picture books by such innovative modern American and English authors/illustrators as Sendak, Briggs, Stevenson, and Pienkowski, considering them from a new perspective: dramatic literature presented on stage.
