The Fairy Tales

by Jan Pienkowski and David Walser

The Fairy Tales Cover

 

Staff Pick

A beautiful, dramatically illustrated collection of four famous fairy tales: "Sleeping Beauty," "Snow White," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella." The Fairy Tales would make a fantastic gift, whether it be as a read-aloud book for parent and child, or simply a stunning keepsake.
Recommended by Jill S., Powell's City of Books

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With bewitching silhouettes and glowing, marbleized backgrounds, Pienkowski's exquisitely detailed illustrations decorate every page of this stunning collection. Each fairy tale has been translated and retold to reflect the original dark magic of the earliest versions of these works. Full color.

Review:

"While young children may primarily be interested in the stories, the beauty and quality of presentation will please older readers and book collectors." School Library Journal
