Author talk with Marian Parry, author of The Paris Book

May 7, 2015 | 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Created in 1952 by author, poet, and artist Marian Parry, The Paris Book remained unpublished until last year, when Un-Gyve released a limited edition of this beautiful volume of watercolors. Featuring twenty extraordinary illustrations accompanied by Parry’s own hand-lettered prose, The Paris Book represents her affinity for the city in which she spent the first years of childhood. The main archive of Parry’s work is in the print collection of the Boston Public Library as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Houghton Library of Harvard University, and the Smith College Rare Book Room.
