Requirements: ePUB Reader | 7.52 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Sleeping Beauty’s enchanted slumber has captivated readers’ hearts for centuries. Now brought luminously to life by K. Y. Craft’s lavish paintings, this new edition of a timeless favorite is sure to enchant readers both young and old. With illustrations inspired by the magnificent style of Baroque painters, the sumptuous color and exquisite detail of this breathtaking interpretation make it a dream come true.
—Through this sumptuous presentation, Princess Aurora joins that elite group of personages whose stories are ornamented by Craft’s lush illustrative style. Building on the Grimms’ shortened version, this retelling of the classic tale of kind and vengeful fairies, a 100-year sleep, and a determined prince is thoroughly embellished both literally and visually. The carefully posed and composed oil-on-watercolor paintings are imbued with lyrical enchantment and capture the elegance of 15th-century Europe. Charming details are everywhere: an illuminated manuscript-style letter opens each page, often incorporating details from the story, and the artwork includes such delightful touches as the grandiose dragon-drawn chariot of the 12th fairy and the somnolent canine guardian she gives Princess Aurora. The phrasing and vocabulary are appropriately formal and the pacing is dramatic, with pivotal moments commanding full-page spreads. A thoroughly enchanting and luxurious addition for any fairy-tale collection.
