In fantastic images as whimsical as the stage designs for the opera The Magic Flute, Victoria Fomina illustrates this life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Born in Salzburg in the middle of the 18th century, Mozart was composing his own music when he was still a small child, and Diane Cook gives us episodes in his short yet brilliant life as experiences of music and imagination, in this oversized picture book for readers 8 and up.
