A stunningly illustrated version of the beloved fairy tale from a Caldecott Medalist, now digitally restored.
Barbara Rogasky (1933-2011) was a longtime collaborator of Trina
Schart Hyman's, and their work together included The Golem and
Winter Poems.
Trina Schart Hyman (1938-2004) was one of America's greatest and
best-loved illustrators for children, winning a Caldecott Medal and
Three Caldecott Honor Medals. She is best known for her fairy tales
and medeival art, and for her artwork for A Child's Calendar by
John Updike.
"Hyman’s iconic watercolor art, full of decoration and embellishment, has been 'lovingly restored' (through digital means) in this welcome reissue. The hues are crisp and bright, with everything from the emotive facial expressions to the filigreed borders looking rich and vibrant. Some may prefer their careworn edi-tions (and the 'dark, brooding romanticism' of the art, as characterized by the original Horn Book review, is now somewhat less so). But this volume should be embraced, especially by those new to Rogasky and Hyman’s retelling. —The Horn Book
