Rapunzel and Other Magic Fairy Tales

by Henriette Sauvant (Illustrations), Anthea Bell (Translation)

A selection of 15 fairy and folk tales, including "The Goose Girl," "The Bremen Town Band," "Puss in Boots," "Cinderella," and of course, "Rapunzel." These stories have been translated from the original German and French versions and therefore retain the remarkably vivid and sometimes strange quality that characterizes these classic tales. Authentic and affecting, this book is startling, dramatic, and otherworldly.

[Daniela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gelungener Mix aus bekannten und weniger bekannten Märchen mit Zauberelementen. Altmodischer Sprachduktus, der sich an den Originalausgaben orientiert. Wunderschöne Illustrationen, stilistisch am magischen Realismus orientiert, machen das Buch zu einem faszinierenden Leseerlebnis.
