Focusing on the portrayal of weather in marine and landscape art, this book explores how artists capture both turbulent and serene conditions. It highlights the significance of personal observation and experience of weather, while also delving into the symbolic and metaphorical meanings behind calm seas and storms in various artworks. Through paintings, drawings, and prints, it reveals the deep connection between artists and the natural elements they depict.

Jenny is a 13-year-old girl who has the same dream every night. Each time she starts in the same place, in the same house, and each time she learns a little more. With the help of her two best friends, an old lady rumoured to be a witch, and a young girl she meets in her dreams, she discovers it is more than just a dream. Jenny learns of a murder she must solve, a missing will she must find, and a gift which she must choose to undertake.

With styles ranging from traditional to abstract, this volume features works spanning late nineteenth-century and twentieth-century American art. It includes paintings that play on the boundaries between reality and fantasy and are rendered in an expressive style which does not directly imitate the natural world.
