(2) 4-6 Adapted by Jack Zipes. Translated by Jack Zipes. Sculptures and photographs by Shaun Tan. In a book-lover's book with riveting art and tantalizing story-bites, each of seventy-five double-page spreads includes, on the verso, a quote from one of the Grimms' tales, translated by Zipes; and, on the recto, a full-page photograph by Tan of a sculpture he has created to power-drive the story. An afterword on Tan's medium and process completes this thoughtful compendium. Reading list.
