About this title

Synopsis:

23 fairy tales are lovingly illustrated by Gestalten favourites (see list below). Childhood friends such as Hansel and Gretel or Cinderella are featured in addition to less well-known but no less wonderful protagonists. The visual updates underline the relevance and timeless language of these all-time classics. These new images will delight all ages. Each and every one of the illustrations was drawn with a loving, magical touch and infused with that secret yearning for bygone innocence and simplicity. Some are painstakingly drawn, some roughly sketched; others are madly detailed, cartoony, playful, romantic, imaginative, captivating, dark, trendy, stylised, strange, psychedelic, impish or enigmatical. Each and every chapter opens up a new realm of magic and colour, and readers will be tempted to skip ahead to rediscover more fairy lands. Masterfully executed, convincing and extraordinarily fun, this classical hardcover volume will make an ideal present for (god)children, their parents or even yourself. Bookmark included. Featuring: Abake, Christian Montenegro, Deanne Cheung, Bastien Aubry (Silex), Rilla Alexander (Rinzen), Judith Zaugg, A-Linha, Dead Chickens, Kytarow
