Reviews

Richly detailed, full-color work taking readers beyond what the eye can behold. --Mountain Times


the most up to date and complete history of the frescoes that decorate the walls of the two Episcopal churches in Ashe County...an excellent resource for understanding and appreciating the various methods involved in fresco painting. --Carolina Mountain Life Richly detailed, full-color work taking readers beyond what the eye can behold. --Mountain Times


"""a book that can be equally helpful as a tourist guidebook or an introduction to Long and the special art of fresco painting...The illustrations and photographs alone make it worth purchasing the book, but the book's importance exceeds that of the visual impact. This work is a valuable resource for art lovers, art historians, readers interested in North Carolina history, and preservationists working with local history. ...an interesting and entertaining story accessible to the general reader.""--The North Carolina Historical Review"
