The Wild Swans

(3) K-3 Translated by Naomi Lewis. Illustrated by Anne Yvonne Gilbert. This lengthy translation of Andersen's story of the princess who sets out to reverse a spell that has turned her eleven brothers into swans retains all of the elements of the original. The detailed paintings are rendered in rich hues and a sweeping, romantic style suitable for the classic tale. A spacious design lends the volume additional elegance.
