Description
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.
Reviews
From a fanciful winter wonderland created for a Crabtree & Evelyn ad campaign to the whimsical tableaux illustrating the recent The Fairy-Tale Princess book from Thames & Hudson, Su's work always exudes grace and elegance.
