(3) K-3 Classic Fairy Tale Collection series. Illustrated by Lucy Corvino. A poor soldier wins the hand of a princess by breaking a curse that forces her and her sisters to dance. The polished text can be smoothly read aloud. The paintings, using hues of green, gold, and purple, done in a rich mix of acrylics, inks, watercolors, and pencil, have a magical, ethereal quality. An appended note explores the story's folkloric themes.
