I’ll be honest: the REAL reason I downloaded this book was to look at the pretty pictures.
As an
artist/illustrator, I enjoy seeing the visual interpretations of a story. It’s
amazing how a single picture can reveal so much.
“The
Sleeping Beauty in the Woods”
The images
were like stained-glass etchings—almost Romanesque. Although I don’t know why they called it “Sleeping
Beauty in the Woods.” She wasn’t in the woods; she was in a freaking castle!
“Puss in
Boots”
“Blue Beard”
I wouldn’t
want to marry someone with a blue beard either, especially not knowing what
happened to his other wives.
What lies
inside the forbidden closet?
The focus
here is clearly on the desperate, pleading wife while the sister is shown in
the top corner looking out for rescue while below stands Blue Beard raising a
saber to his wife.
