Retold by Felix Hoffmann.
Illustrated by
Felix Hoffmann.
Afterword by Martin Salisbury. Swiss illustrator, printmaker, and artist Hoffmann's retold tales, originally published as seven picture books in Germany from 1949 to 1975, are gathered together in a handsome volume that will encourage appreciation for Hoffmann's many styles and techniques. Originally created for his own children, there are occasional changes from the Grimms' versions of "Rapunzel" and "Hans in Luck," described in the editorial note.
