Title: Another outstanding book illustrated by Laurel Long!
Review: I am discovering that everything this lady illustrates is of the highest quality. I now have two of her books and will look for more. The intricacy and richness of the illustrations make each page a visual feast! Her fabrics are like the richest tapestries and the borders of each page are complex floral middle eastern style beauties as well. I can't speak highly enough about her illustrations, they need to be looked at again and again. The story line is a combination of different fairy tales and ends as it ought: with evil brought to justice! (This is the only illustration that is a bit inconsistent with the gory end to the wicked sorceress as it looks too posed and beautiful.) All in all though, a great tale and great pictures. Very highly recommended to collectors of fine fairy tales and folklore.
