Classic Fantasy with hints of modern attitudes

Goodness the very thing that is so enchanting about this book is its classic fantasy elements, both in the story and the illustrations. It sticks to the genre so close that even the most classic fantasy lover would approve. Most surprising though and welcome are a few subtle variances from the classic medival fairytale. There are not only princes and Kings with major roles but women who have more to do than just get rescued:) I love this book, for my children the lesson is wonderful! For myself, the sheer richness of the illustration is a feast for the eyes and the sweet beauty of the tale pulls my heart strings. If you are a romantic, you will love this book :)

Beautifully Written and Artistic Creation!

I am 23 years old and I bought this book for myself! It was so beautiful and the story is so original and magical that I, myself, wanted to keep it and read it over and over again.

Breathtaking pictures- one of my family's favorites

This book is beautifully illustrated and has a classic fairytale to go with it. My children and I sit and admire the art together. I highly recommend this book.
