Translated by Hugh Hazelton.
Illustrated by
Linda Wolfsgruber.
With drypoint and monoprint illustrations washed in muted but emotive colors, this is a free-verse, present-tense retelling of the librettos of Wagner's great Ring Cycle. Although there is nothing that marks this particularly as a book for young people, it would be an accessible and dramatic introduction for newcomers to the operas.
