Summary: An Exquisite Tale for All Ages
Comment: Arthur Rackham not only excelled at creating full color illustrations; he also was an unrivalled master at the art of the silhouette. In this reprinted children's classic, Rackham lavishly illustrates C.S. Evan's intricate retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story with one amazing silhouette after another. One of my favorite illustrations when I was a child was a fabulous two-page cross-section of Sleeping Beauty's palace, including such great details as slumbering cats, doves, scullery maids, the king and queen on their thrones, and of course the princess in her high tower. It never ceases to impress me how much a masterful artist like Rackham could communicate just with beautifully crafted graphic shapes alone- and remember, just because something's not in color, doesn't mean it's not good! Highly recommended!

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: Well, I judged this book by its cover, and I was wrong. The beautiful illustration on the cover is NOT what you will find on the inside. All of the internal illustrations are black and white outlines. I was very disappointed. However, the story is much more expanded in this version than in any other that I have seen. There are actually fairies in this fairy tale. Don't buy this book for the pictures or you'll be disappointed...buy it for a new, but familiar version of the classic tale.
