Synopsis
Sleeping Beauty, Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast: these are the fairy tales that have captivated children through the centuries, the stories that make their eyes grow wide in wonder and joy, the ones every child should experience. Through his exquisite illustrations and artful retellings, Michael Foreman captures all the charm and mystery of 14 eternal classics. His radiant paintings shine with color: the glimmering gold of Cinderella's coach; the rich hue of Red Riding Hood's cloak; the vivid green of the beanstalk rising up to the sky; the luminous, almost transparent white of Sleeping Beauty's gown and bed. This is a truly special collection that every child should own--and that every parent will take pride in sharing.

About the Author
Michael Foreman's numerous books for children have earned him widespread recognition as one of the world's leading illustrators. He has worked on a vast range of children's books, and has collaborated with Terry Jones on all of his books for children. He also writes and illustrates his own books, including War Boy and War Game, winners of the Kate Greenaway Award and Smarties Book Prize respectively, and After the War was Over. More recently he has illustrated The Knight and the Squire and The Lady and the Squire, both by Terry Jones. He has also illustrated the classic stories Peter Pan and Wendy, The Wind in the Willows and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, all published by Chrysalis Children's Books.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-Foreman's retellings of these 14 stories are gentled down considerably. The Three Little Pigs, for example, just happen to be traveling around the world when winter's approach causes them to think about house-building. None of them turns into pork dinners, and the Big Bad Wolf suffers no more than a burnt tail. Cinderella's sisters are instantly forgiven for mistreating her. Even the wolf that swallows Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother ends up a vegetarian. Foreman cites no sources for these well-known stories. His watercolor illustrations, leaning heavily toward the blue and green side of the palette, are as easy on the eye as his defanged tellings are on supersensitive readers.-Miriam Lang Budin, Chappaqua Public Library, NY
