Illustrated by
Jane Ray.
A dozen familiar fairy tales, selected from the works of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and others, have been compiled in one luxuriously illustrated volume. On each page, the text box is rimmed with gold and set against a richly patterned background, and the intricate details in the accompanying artwork are rendered in vibrant jewel tones. In contrast, Doherty's retellings are simple and straightforward, with few embellishments.
