I take pictures when they are bloodied or sick or naked or angry. They dress up, they pout and posture, they paint their bodies, they dive like otters in the dark river.' \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a book that is ethereal, tender and sometimes eerily disquieting: a distinctly human work - at once personal and universal - that is magnetically seductive.\u003c/p\u003e","webReviews":"'A beguiling insight into the enigma of childhood.' \u003cem\u003e(Sunday Times)\u003c/em\u003e","webShortDescription":"A collection of intimate photographs of her children by Sally Mann."}
