I’m not sure which I enjoyed more - the gorgeous illustrations, or the entrancing story that accompanied them. This is one of those books you really need to see to understand how beautiful it is. The illustrations look like paintings that you’d expect to see hanging on someone’s walls. The story itself reads like a myth or fairy tale, with danger and monsters, but also love and caring. (Honestly, although kids are sure to enjoy this, I think adults might enjoy it even more). The book is short, but it’s so easy to get lost in the world of the story. I’ll definitely be recommending this to anyone who enjoys fairy tales!
