Historical December 1981 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Queen of the Cupcakes, a limited edition handbound book for children and adults, is being offered for the first time in St. Louis.
It is written, illustrated and published by St. Louis artist Mary Engelbreit.
Some of the books will have hand-colored illustrations.
A complete set of illustrations will be matted and framed for sale individually.
The books, and drawings will be on display exclusively in the gallery of Left Bank Books, 399 N. Euclid, through Christmas. Regular hours are Mon. 10-6 and Tues. through Sat. 10-10. Queen of the Cupcakes is an oldfashioned fairy tale with an up-to-date twist.
It is the story of a baker who bakes luscious sweets in a town full of health food fanatics.
This is Engelbreit’s first book and fourth annual show at Left Bank Books.
The previous shows were composed of pen and ink and colored pencil drawings. Engelbreit is currently at work on two books.
A native of St. Louis, she lived for many years in the Central West End and now lives in Webster Groves.
