Leslie Hausechildt's observation about whether or not the illustrations in Man Who Walked will hold up in 5 or 10 years is interesting. In my experience, the visual world changes dramatically in ten years making some books look/feel dated; in some books it matters, and in others, it does not. If I had to say why some continue to work, I suspect it is because the overall emotions in the story and pictures continue to resonant with readers, and the so?lled "dated" appearance of the illustrations does not matter. A guess, and nothing more...Norma Jean
