Illustrated by
Andrea Dezsö.
With a contemporary sensibility and voice pitched perfectly to teenagers, Koertge retells, in free verse and from various points of view, twenty-three familiar tales. It's a swell mix of the comical, concrete, and macabre. Dezsö's choice of cut-paper illustrations is brilliant, a nod to Hans C. Andersen’s skill in that medium despite the radically different tone. Perfect for grabbing a restive class's attention.
