Hans My Hedgehog: A Tale from the Brothers Grimm

(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Nickle. Coombs offers her own interpretation of the Grimm fairy tale of a half-boy, half-hedgehog: here, he raises pigs, plays the fiddle, and goes with little human love until a promise-made-good earns him a princess--and humanity. Nickle's acrylic paintings, though appropriately formal, mix several styles to often strange effect.
