Description

  • Seven timeless tales, exquisitely depicted through dramatically lit images of elaborate paper-cut artworks
  • Each story is accompanied by a sequence of detailed paper sculptures, skillfully crafted from the pages of another edition of the same tale
  • Su Blackwell's sculptures evoke a magical realm of beauty and whimsy, while Wendy Jones' retellings are fresh and poetic

Seven classic fairy tales, imaginatively retold and illustrated with specially commissioned paper-cut constructions

This is a beautiful collection of seven fairy tales—Sleeping Beauty,The Frog Prince, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Snow White, The Princess and the Pea, and The Twelve Dancing Princesses—organized around the theme of the fairytale princess and retold in a fresh and lyrical voice by Wendy Jones. They are illustrated with glorious papercut sculptures specially created by Su Blackwell. The characters—and the kingdoms they inhabit—emerge from the pages through a series of exquisite paper sculptures. Each tale has a unique visual flavor: while Sleeping Beauty is blue and dreamy, The Princess and the Pea is green and summery. The magic and otherworldliness of traditional fairytale collections meet glorious, contemporary paper constructions in The Fairtytale Princess, which makes a charming addition to the shelf of bedtime stories. Illustrated in color throughout
