About this Item
As new condition oversized color illustrated boards. Includes Dedication and A Note About Rapunzel by Paul O. Zelinsky. Profusely illustrated with color oil paintings by Paul O. Zelinsky. Winner of the Caldecott Medal. Unpaginated. "Surely among the most original and gifted of illustrators, Paul O. Zelinsky once again has crafted a unique vision of an age-old tale. Drawing on elements from early French and Italian sources as well as from the Grimms, the artist brings forth the humanity of Rapunzel, taking us beyond the events of the story to discover its powerful, enduring truths. His stunning oil paintings evoke not a barren, forbidding tower, but one of esoteric beauty and physical luxury; not an ugly witch who cruelly imprisons a young girl, but a mother figure who powerfully resists her child's inevitable growth; and two young people who must struggle in the wilderness for the self-reliance that marks the true beginning of adulthood. Resonant with the complex flow of human relationships, this book is a work of rare endeavor." - from the inner front cover. Seller Inventory # 003671
