The retelling has a dark humor that will produce both gasps and giggles. Each page of the book is like a painting that simply cries out to be framed and admired each day. The story begins with beauty and light, devolves into trickery, and suddenly re-emerges with all the hope and beauty that it began with - a tale of darkness and light, just like life! The sparse, poetic text perfectly complements the breathtaking artwork. The book is a perfect keepsake and art piece for any family to be handed down to each new generation of readers and art appreciators. Upon closer examination, each illustration comes alive through the hidden details. The old fable has its moral, of course, but in this retelling, a gentle ambiguity is established, leaving the final message open to interpretation.
