Limited edition releases by The Franklin Library, the nation’s largest distributor of classic books designed for the collector’s market, featured Jerry Pinkney’s work in the late 1970s by aligning his art with texts by acknowledged literary giants. Gulliver’s Travels, a full-length satirical work by Jonathan Swift charting the escapades of the fictional surgeon and ship captain, Lemuel Gulliver, was a welcome project. Despite struggles with dyslexia since childhood, the artist has always taken time to read manuscripts carefully, and credits his slower paced reading with an ability to absorb and portray details that might otherwise go unnoticed.
