Dandelion Time is a book that was long overdue, and eagerly awaited by Jeff Ree’s many admirers. The cover was designed and illustrated by his daughter, Rachel, who also produced a series of six plates to accompany the poems. A keen eye for observation and for detail, coupled with a sympathetic understanding of her father’s work, has enabled Rachel to produce superb drawings, in a very personal style, which complement the poems in a very special way. |

As an added attraction, the illustrations are also available as limited edition prints, mounted and signed by the artist, either singly or as a complete set. |
