We're back!! After a summer break full of many ups and downs, Amy and Jacinta return to the studio with more than just a new old book review... it's a new theme for the entire season! We are celebrating the Golden Age of Illustration with each episode of Season Four, and we kick things off with a rollicking romance story illustrated by the one artist whose work is most often mislabeled as "Gibson Girls," Harrison Fisher.
