Does anyone know of a good illustrated version of Samuel Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? I'm looking for:

1)great art here that speaks alongside the poem for the child not yet reading but listening next to mom and older siblings
2)correct, authentic adaptation of the poem

Well, I have one. But it is at home in NC and I can't seem to find it online anywhere. If you can wait a couple of weeks til I'm home I can send it to you.
Sorry, not much help here.

So, Cay, I saw your request and since our library had a version I thought I'd check it out. This version is illustrated by Caldecott winner, Ed Young (published 1992, Atheneum). It is illustrated with a combination of smaller charcoal drawings on most pages with large full-size two-page pastel spreads every few pages. It is not an adaptaion of the poem though - it is the actual text with sidenotes. I think the illustrations are very well done, eyecatching and dramatic - it does speak alongside the poem. Doesn't look like this version is readily available though (maybe the same one Theresa mentioned). Couldn't find any more picturebooky adaptations.
