Illustrated by
Roberto Innocenti.
Innocenti's Cinderella is set in 1920s London and features brown-toned retro illustrations with clever details; Delessert's Beauty is dreamlike and psychologically suggestive, with illustrations of pudgy beast-headed birds and recurring beast silhouettes. These new editions are covered in high-quality paper and employ luxurious art treatment; the pages are text-heavy, but the old tellings have charm.
