A sumptuous gift edition of four of the best known fairy stories illustrated with Jan Pienkowski’s striking silhouettes. Pienkowski draws on the traditions that he was seeped in during his childhood in Poland and uses the images of the forests to create suitably sinister backdrops to the stories.
Sleeping Beauty is trapped in an impenetrable world of thorns as the forest grows around while Hansel and Gretel must follow the white pebbles – the only thing with any light in it at all - to find their the way out of the black forest. Wonderful for reading aloud while a child absorbs the impact of the powerful illustrations.
