In this retelling of a Grimm tale, a lady finds herself promised to a lion who is really an enchanted prince. A magical accident interrupts their happy marriage; the prince is transformed into a dove, and the lady spends seven years searching for him. Elaborate oil paintings, full of vibrant colors, complex patterns, and swirling lines, mirror the drama of this story of faithful love. A source note is included.
