Reviews

Mitchell’s retelling is excellent. Ibatoulline’s expansive spreads, elegantly drawn in detailed pen and ink, resemble etchings; appropriately, the added watercolor is in delicate yet somber tones… A sumptuous setting for this strange, profoundly provocative classic.
–The Horn Book Magazine

A most unusual and spectacular book.
–Undercover

Another exquisite re-telling of an old tale, for older readers with concrete nerves.
–The Book Magazine

While the tale is so well told it will stand by itself, the illustrations add to the magic and wonder of the story… A book to be treasured.
