Nine tales, including "Snow White" and the less-familiar "Mother Holly," are straightforwardly retold and accompanied by Swiss ad man/poster artist Leupin's mid-century illustrations in a large-format storybook. The richly colored artwork has an early-era Disney sensibility. A lengthy biographical note about Leupin is appended. This volume will appeal most to collectors.
