  • Help? I'm trying to remember the name of a favourite children's book from 70's?

    It was a children's picture book about an elderly artist who never finished his paintings because if they did they came alive. It was set in Asia, the artist was Chinese I think. At some point in the story his brush is stolen and people start trying to paint gold. That's all I can remember.
