The Fairy-Tale Princess: Seven Classic Stories From the Enchanted Forest by Su Blackwell

Enter a world of enchantment with this whimsical collection of princess fairy tales.  Su Blackwell’s amazing sculpted paper creations illustrate Wendy Jones’ retelling of seven classic princess stories.   Cinderella, The Frog Prince, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Princess and the Pea, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty are included. The Fairy-Tale Princess will captivate  children and adults alike with its  intricately carved figures and scenes made from  book paper.  Look for the “inside jokes” in the text of the illustrations.  For instance,  a table in a Sleeping Beauty illustration bears the ominous words  “that one day he traveled through a dense forest…”   Details like this will keep you searching for other hidden gems. The Fairy-Tale Princess is  perfect for the older child or as a family read-aloud.
