Fairy Tales by Berlie Doherty
The twelve stories in this collection are among the best-loved and most enchanting fairy stories of all. These are classic tales that have enthralled children all over the world for hundreds of years; but rarely, if ever, can they have been presented as perfectly as here. Here is fairy-tale magic for many a lifetime.
This wonderful book creates a jewel-like world of enchantment studded with Jane Ray's gold-encrusted, richly coloured drawingsThe Guardian * This is a treasury you can judge by its cover, the intricate illustrations matched by alluring, fresh interpretations of familiar tales. The Independent * Perfect in every aspect... there is, literally and metaphorically, gold on every page. Both the stories and the pictures move the readers with unfamiliar freshness. The Sunday Times * Berlie Doherty retells in elegant, concise, accessible modern style. Jane Ray's illustrations, luminous and otherworldly and yet passionately engaging, make each story surprising as well as familiar. This is a volume children will recall, with almost tactile pleasure, in adulthood. The Financial Times * Text and illustrations are set, gilt-edged, against what must surely be fairy fabrics and enchanted wallpapers. Books for Keeps
