Translated by Claude Sartirano.
Illustrated by
Quentin Gréban.
Also translated by Juanita Havill. This edition of the classic story features lively, expressive illustrations, both full-page and spot art, and a fresh translation. The prose retains an old-fashioned feel, eliminating some of the most flowery phrasing without sacrificing the story's details. Most pages include at least one illustration, and the paintings convey the strong feelings in the story. This is a handsome presentation of a familiar tale.
