(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. This exquisitely designed and illustrated retelling is a lush interpretation of Andersen's tale. Every part of the book is thoughtfully designed, from the die-cut jacket to the endpapers to the use of the gutter to accentuate the Chinese-panel-like illustrations. Mitchell's retelling is brisk, which keeps the filigreed presentation from becoming too much.
