Books by Loman Bell

In the vivid colors of his own acrylic painted illustrations, Loman Bell tells the second story of his Old Glory series. We follow the ship as it departs from its home harbor on Prince Edward Island, Canada and undertakes a long voyage in the tradition of the wooden sailing ships of the 1800s. As the ship braves fierce winds as well as severe cold, we can imagine some of the hardships sailors endured back then...only this voyage ends well!

Here is a children's book about sailing ships of a bygone era. It is about a voyage on an old sailing ship of the 1800s braving the waves and weather to bring back cargo, including presents for children at Christmas. Of particular note are the many brightly-colored paintings created by the author for the illustrations.

This third book in Loman Bell's OLD GLORY series continues the journeys with his bold, hand painted illustrations and simple poetic text. It is a highly colorful fictional description of a square-rigged sailing ship of a previous century making a trip to exotic places around the world intended for children, although the illustrations are fascinating in their own right.
