*ART & DESIGN*
The Electric Pencil: Drawings from Inside State Hospital No. 3 by James Edward Deeds Jr. $29.95 - Arresting drawings by made by one inmate, made as a gift for his mother, accidentally discarded in 1970, then found again by an art collector who put them in a book. None of these existed in the actual mid-twentieth-century landscape of Deeds's own life that he drew (an unusual cast of characters: nineteenth-century dandies, Civil War soldiers, antique cars, fantastic boats and trains, country landscapes dotted with roaming animals, and fanciful architecture), but rather were representations of his inner world—an artist's poignant tribute to a faded past.

Little Mook and Dwarf Longnose by Wilhelm Hauff, Illustrated by Boris Pak (Godine) $19.95 - Short stories, peopled with a vivid assortment of dwarves, evil witches, enchanted swans, and devious princes. But rather than rehashing Brothers Grimm, Hauff creates a place where the morals are less than clear-cut. gnomish, innocent orphans with neglectful parents, a cruel witch’s curse, an enchanted goose and more.
