Chuck Fischer's paintings hang in some of the finest residences in the world. His designs have been reproduced on holiday ornaments and home furnishings, including wallpaper and fabrics in the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. He is the author of five previous pop-up books--The White House, Great American Houses and Gardens, Christmas in New York, Christmas Around the World, and the forthcoming In The Beginning. He lives in New York and Florida.

  • PRAISE FOR CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD:

    "An illustrated 'interactive' celebration of Christmas with an international flair." (USA Today).

  • "Talk about a Christmas miracle." (Rocky Mountain News).

  • PRAISE FOR CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK:

    "There's nothing like Christmas in New York. Can't visit? This interactive pop-up book is the next best thing." (Parents).

  • "What an incredible, ornate, extravagant work of art is Chuck Fischer's Angels! I'm amazed at the level of sophistication with which these images were wrought. . . .  I can't heap enough glowing praise on Chuck Fischer who did the artwork, Bruce Foster, who figured out how to fold it all neatly up into a pop-up that is smooth-flowing and easy to open, and to Curtis Flowers for the articulate, eloquent dissertations that give us the legends, myths and history of the Angels. What more perfect time of year to bring out this gem than at the holidays?"
    (--Sacramento Book Review).
