The Golden Key

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ruth Sanderson. MacDonald's tale about Mossy and Tangle, who travel through Fairyland with a golden key, is here illustrated with Sanderson's precise and delicate scratchboard art. Adding power to the story, the palette of only black and white reinforces the sense that a serious vision underpins the magical quest the two protagonists pursue. An afterword by Jane Yolen and an illustrator's note add value.
