Faith Builders I've always been a cultural traditionalist in weird ways--trying to find value in the traditional because it's so easy to dismiss it with an eye roll--but I'm slowly coming around to the idea that the old stories are outmoded and we need a New Soviet Book of Instructive Parables instead. Like, kids need to grapple with death too but the sheer weight of the blood and the gender stuff (winning the princess etc.) and the gold-lust that is a constant motivation at some point makes it hard to deny that these stories just have really bad values. The Hildebrandt brothers art is a great thing in this volume though. A delightful collection of eight beautifully illustrated classic fairy tales. Each carefully drawn illustration perfectly matches the content of each tale. The sweetness of Goldilocks and her blond curls is in contrast to the civilized and formally dressed three bears who find that Goldilocks has rudely broken into their house. The innocent and pure beauty of Snow White contrasts the hard beauty of the Queen who wished to always be the "fairest of them all". The Queen's transformation into an old woman who visits Snow White three times in order to kill her demonstrates the depths the Queen would go for her vanity. People who favor the Disney versions of this classic fairy tales will be surprised and delighted by the more traditional version of each tale where Snow white is not saved by a kiss but by the dislodging of a piece of poisonous apple in her mouth. The heroes of each tale do live happily ever after as each protagonist triumphs over evil. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
