Tales Retold by P. Buckley Moss

Tales Retold by P. Buckley Moss is a 2000 Rare Lithograph, Limited, Numbered Edition from the P. Buckley Moss One Boy Two Girls Collection. This tender and intimate artwork captures the timeless tradition of storytelling and the bond it creates between generations.

At the heart of Tales Retold, a mother sits closely with three children—one boy and two girls—sharing a story from an open book. The children lean in with curiosity and trust, while the mother’s gentle posture reflects care, patience, and nurturing. The circular composition frames the trio like a cherished memory, emphasizing warmth and closeness.

The flowing, vine-like forms surrounding the figures add a dreamlike quality, symbolizing imagination taking root as stories come to life. This piece beautifully represents the passing down of wisdom, values, and creativity through storytelling.
