Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Jan Pienkowski’s exquisitely detailed illustrations decorate every page of this stunning fairy tale collection. His bewitching silhouettes and glowing marbleized backgrounds bring to life the enchanted worlds of four beloved stories—'Snow White,' 'Sleeping Beauty,' 'Hansel and Gretel,' and 'Cinderella.' Each fairy tale has been translated and retold to reflect the original dark magic of the earliest versions of these classic works. And with special details like gold-edged pages, this lavishly produced volume is a perfect holiday gift for the whole family to treasure.

This is a very high quality illustrated fairy tale book. What it isn't is a pop-up book. The illustrations are magnificent, but since it was created by Jan Pienkowski I expected it to be one of his very imaginative pop-ups. It is not. That doesn't mean that it is disappointing, just unexpected. Anyone wanting a beautifully illustrated book of fairy tales will love this.

I also spotted this book in a bookstore and stopped to look through it. My daughter loves fairy tales and although we have heard these stories before, the artwork is so unusual and captivating I can't resist buying this for her. We will both love reading it together.

I was on a browse at my local bookstore for some children's books and just happened upon this wonder. What a work of art! I was taken aback by the beauty and art of the cover. I would adore it framed.
The stories inside are just as gorgeously written and illustrated. I love the silhouette technique she uses, so evocative! Children will be fascinated by the pictures AND the text. But I am a 35 yr. old woman and I bought this for it's artistry and it will be a life long treasure!
You won't be disappointed if you love fairytales and unusual artwork.
