Illustrated by
Laura Carlin.
Carlin received a Bologna Ragazzi Award Mention for this handsome illustrated edition of the late British poet laureate's classic tale. Her dramatic mixed-media art includes both dark, shadowy illustrations and delicately lined drawings against white backgrounds; alternately bold and gentle, the pictures perfectly capture the mood of the story. Die cuts and numerous foldouts add extra appeal to this unabridged edition.
