'In
1997, by a series of astounding coincidences, Laurence Anholt tracked
down the real 'Girl With A Ponytail', Picasso's reclusive young model
of 1954. He eventually found her living under an adopted name in a tiny
village...not twenty miles from the author's home! This chance-in-a-million
meeting was reported in many journals and was the subject of a feature
on BBC World TV. The exciting and touching tale of the shy teenager's
experience with Picasso was told exclusively to Laurence and became the
subject of his beautiful picture book - Simply not to be missed.'
"This is an enchanting, illuminating book." The Guardian
"Picasso and the Girl With A Ponytail is a wonderful book.
It is beautifully illustrated, engagingly told and a great companion to
his two other books on Van Gogh and Degas. A great introduction to art
and very highly recommended." The Observer
"An inspired way of introducing children to the artist."
The Sunday Times
"Anholt's spirited line and wash illustrations have a bohemian
joie de vivre that gives a real sense of France in the Fifties." Times
Educational Supplement

and his relationship with Sylvette." Pulmans Weekly
