Nightfall Coloring Book: Originally Published in Sweden as “Skymningstimman”
By: Maria Trolle
Rating: 5 of 5
This is my second coloring book by the artist, Maria Trolle. It is even lovelier than the last. There are some many flowers, including some of my favorites (peonies, poppies, fuchsias, and roses.) There are cute little animals and a sweet young girl. All in all, a wonderful, primarily floral, book to color in.
The book is hardbound, with cream paper and a sewn-in binding. There are 94 pages of designs (if you include the presentation page. Of those, 32 have black backgrounds. The vast majority of the designs are all inclusive on one page (though the printing is on both sides of the page.) There are only 7 designs which span across as a two page spread.
I especially like that the artist has included the page number and the names of the flowers. I really appreciate that she did not include the page numbers on the designs but you can fairly easily find the page/flower if you look.
The book opens flat very easily and I am able to color into the area of the binding with no problem. The designs are detailed but not what I consider intricate with difficult small areas to color.
