(4) K-3 Retold by David Walser. Pieńkowski's cut-paper art illustrates traditional Polish tales. The eight retellings are direct and unadorned in contrast to the drama of the black silhouettes of human characters against richly colored scenes. There are no source notes for the generally well-known tales, including "The Glass Mountain," "The Trumpeter of Kraków," and "The Miller's Daughters." A note on Pieńkowski's childhood in Poland is included. Glos.
