"On the first day of Christmas,/My true love gave to me/A partridge in a pear tree."A straightforward beginning to a carol that grows increasingly complicated as both the list of presents and the numbers involved accumulate. Brett's lavish treatment of the song portrays various levels of meaning;she has illustrated the fantastic gifts in outrageous splendor (seven swans swim in folkloric Russian headdresses), turned them into a border of tree decorations,included a menagerie of animals carrying banners with"Merry Christmas"in different languages,and set into the outer edges of each page an ongoing story about a family's preparations for the big day itself. In the final frame,the decorated tree serves as the centerpiece for their own caroling.The artist demonstrates,once again, that she will not relinquish a project before every last glorious detail is in place;the clarity of her vision is stunning.
