Customer comments on this selection.
 beautiful
this is possibly the best children's version of this story i've come across. the pictures are beautiful with attention paid to detail. the illustrations are kind of reminiscent of classical art... whatever era that is, but you get the idea from the front cover. there's a lot to look at in any case. the storytelling isn't bad either. the author knows how to put a decent sentence together.
this story is probably what i would (in this day and age) consider to be a 'classically told' fairy tale. a must read.
Exquisite purchase
This classic fairytale is vouluptuously illustrated in this version of the 12 wayward princesses that wear out their shoes dancing away the night in secret and the clever persistent man who finally follows them and wins a bride. Th eillustrations really are amazing and win the 5 star rating for this edition.
My grandaughter loves it.
I ordered this for my 5 year old grandaughter. She read it 5 times the day she received it. It is beautifully presented. A delite to see.
This is not Barbie!
I was familar with this book as a child and bought it for my 7 year old daughter. It took he a moment to wrap her mind around it not being Barbie-related but once we read it and she got lost in the incredible artwork there was no going back. This is a keeper to pass down. The story is dear but the artwork is what gets you talking with your child. Every adult at her party was looking through it with interest. A definite for a children's library.
