Palekh Lives, + Helps Us Live

The main art in this book is larger than the Palekh boxes it's based on, and this is a plus. And the book is about 1/30th as expensive as many of said lacquer boxes. The fairy tales themselves are truly BAZAAR and hence stimulating. We bought this more for the art than the stories, but still 2 THUMBS UP!
