"Mr. Pennell's 'Adventures' began with his earliest years, for, as he says, 'I was always an illustrator,' and as a child he looked at things with an artist's eye. ...His work, of which this book is the story, has been recognized, both abroad and at home, as of the first rank, and he here describes his own aims and methods and those of illustrators who have made American illustration universally known.
Much practical information on the technique of illustration is in the book. ...The volume is profusely illustrated with Mr Pennell's drawings, etchings, and lithographs, as well as by portraits of authors whom he has worked, together with examples of the work of other artists of Europe and America." -- book jacket
