(3) 4-6 Illustrated by John Howe. A fisherman catches an enchanted flounder and lets it go, but his wife sends him back to wish for ever more grand houses and titles. This text-heavy version is faithful to the Grimm telling and features Howe's craggy, powerful paintings, mingling the growing energy of crashing waves with fantasy images of the palaces and the weathered fisherman himself, dwarfed by his wife's greed.
