This book ought to be required reading for every high school student and college 101 art appreciation class.  The author's short stories reveal how relevant Van Gogh is to today's life experiences.  Young students to senior citizens will find joy and compassion for Van Gogh's art and for his strong conviction to learn, to practice, and to express himself while being true to himself...no matter how isolated it left him.Young or new students to art, learn to appreciate and recognize Van Gogh's work.  They learn that he cut off his own ear, suffered depression and had a close relationship with his brother.  This book goes further in teaching us about the famous artist.  It helps the art student to develop critical thinking skills and how individuals make a difference...perhaps, the most unlikely person like VanGogh who went "against the norm".  This book is informative and inspirational!  It's always a pleasure to view his art and this book provides this, too; one of my favorites, The Pink Orchard.  Thank you for writing this book!!  Buy it, you'll be glad you did.
