 | James & the Giant Peach by Joy Peskin, Lane Smith, Lucy Dahl, Quentin Blake, Richard R. George
After being orphaned at the age of 4, James Henry Trotter goes to live with his only other relatives, the horrific Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge. The aunts force James to do all the work around the house, never give him treats, and refuse to let him play with other children. One day a mysterious stranger gives James some magical crystals, which James accidentally drops underneath a dormant peach tree. By the next morning, the tree has sprouted a peach as big as a house. When James investigates, he finds the giant peach inhabited by friendly talking insects, who help James leave behind his dreary life with his aunts forever.

 | In Focus - August Sander by J. Paul Getty Museum Staff
The long life of German photographer August Sander (1876-1964) spanned one of the most turbulent eras in his country`s history. The Great War of 1914-1918, the Weimar Republic, the reign of National Socialism, and the horrors of World War II all left an indelible imprint on both the man and his work. Sander, a conventional studio portraitist who transformed himself into an avant-gardist, exemplified the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of his time. He was at once innovative and deeply wedded to the pasty blending a progressive vision with a traditional view of society and his craft. AUTHOR: J. Paul Getty Museum Staff
