Although published as a children's book, there is nothing childish about this collection of original fairy tales. Jane Yolen has a gift of capturing the feel and language of ancient folk tales and myths. My favourite is "The Lad Who Stared Everyone Down," although the title story was also hauntingly fine. The illustrations are clearly 20th century, but with just the right touch of timelessness and history. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

And, yet, they do not feel like warmed-over retellings of stories we heard as children. Each of the five tales has something new to say to us about happiness or pride or common sense.
David Palladini's illustrations are beautiful, particularly the many full-color plates. Sadly, the book appears to be out of print right now, so you'll need to hunt it down in your favorite used book shops. ( )
