Format:Hardcover
In my view this is a better version of this Grimm Bros fairy tale than the Errol Le Cain version, and that's saying something. The illustrations are as luscious as a pound of damsons. Taken as naturalistic illustrations, in fact, they are a high-point of book illustration by any standard and in any age - just sumptuous. Nor do they take over the text -they properly illuminate it, and the text on its own is full and intriguing.
I congratulate the publishers on this production. I'd give it 50, not 5 stars!

This is a wonderful adaptation of this story. I own several versions of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses and by far I like this one best.Especially the beautiful art work I think this is what originally attracted me to this book.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This re-telling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses is sumptuously illustrated and has a very rich, baroque feel to it, as befits the story. And it's a quick read, suitable for little - and not so little! - people
