Detail from 'The Witches of Venice', written and illustrated by Benito (better known as Beni) Montresor, first published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York, Chicago in 1963. I make it a general rule that I don't post photos of books that I don't personally own but here's an exception (yes, another one!) - do check out #BeniMontresor's other works such as Bedtime, A is for Angel, Old Neapolitan Fairy Tales and more... PS - The Witches of Venice was turned into an opera-ballet scored by Phillip Glass in 1995! --- Cross-shared via FB: The 80s Book Witch (@80sBookWitch), links in bio.
