Beautiful Illustrations

Amy Ehrlich's selection of fairy tales is excellent. Although all are familiar, these are unusually well written and nice to read, both to oneself and aloud. I was, however, attracted to the book because of the beautiful pencil illustrations done by Diane Goode. In fact, that's why I purchased the book. Both her pencil and colored pencil illustrations are detailed and well rendered with delicate lines and tones. She has a wonderful sense of design, making each page a new treat. A child would never tire of looking at these illustrations while listening to the stories. I enjoyed the short biographies at the end of the book, especially reading how Goode approaches her artwork. This book is now hard to get so I'm pleased to have it in my collection Denise Hillman Moynahan The Great Cavern of the Winds: Tales from Backbone Mountain
