(3) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Dorothee Duntze. To break the spell that has changed her brothers into swans, a girl makes a vow of silence and sews each of them a starflower shirt. The vow almost leads to her own execution, but the girl and her brothers rescue each other at the last minute. The illustrations, with their arresting compositions and surrealistic details, lend an air of mystery and magic to the satisfying tale.
