Moses illustrates "Little Red Riding Hood," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Snow White," "Puss in Boots," and "Beauty and the Beast" with folk art–style oil paintings. Pages are dense with words; each tale is punctuated with a dozen or so vignettes and finishes with a double-spread landscape populated with miniatures. Moses has made minor embellishments to the tales; he doesn't acknowledge any textual sources.
