Originally published in Switzerland in 1967 as Zeralda's Riese, this classic original fairy-tale reminds me quite a bit of Tomi Ungerer's The Three Robbers (1961), which also features fearsome adult figures who are reformed by a young girl-child. Whether this is intended as a commentary on the innocence of the young, or simply their potential to see wrong-doers without fear or anger, as people needing help rather than deserving punishment, is up for debate. Whatever the case may be, the story here felt both wholly original and satisfyingly folkloric. The ending, as is to be expected from Ungerer, was completely unexpected. The artwork (again, not unexpectedly), was immensely appealing, capturing the ogre's fearsome villainy and Zeralda's matter-of-fact kindness perfectly. Recommended to all Tomi Ungerer fans, and to anyone looking for original fairy-tales. ( )
