Adorable Adele

By Peter Stephan Jungk
Illustrated by John Martinez 

This beautifully rendered children’s work tells the story of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the elegant daughter of a Viennese banking family who would grow up to marry the wealthy sugar manufacturer Ferdinand Bloch and later be immortalized in one of the greatest portraits of the twentieth century. Illustrated with all of the pattern, color, and gilt of fin-de-siècle Vienna, this sophisticated storybook is a delight for children and adults alike.
