About The Book
Hoffmann’s subtle details and keen ability to portray expression in humans and animals alike make this collection a visual treat and one to explore again and again. Seven classic tales are collected with stylish illustrations.
About The Illustrator
Felix Hoffmann (1911–1975) was born in Aarau, Switzerland. He was an illustrator and also painted on glass. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, Germany, and the School of Fine and Applied Arts in Berlin. He illustrated eighty-six books. In 1957 Hoffmann was awarded the Swiss Children’s Book Prize for his life’s work. He also appeared on the Honors list for the Hans Christian Andersen Award several times, and in 1972 he was short-listed for the same award for his life’s work. He is recognized as one of the most important twentieth-century Swiss illustrators of children’s books.

Raves and Reviews
"The expressive faces and postures of the animals and the human figures eloquently capture emotion from the fearsome figure of the witch in "Rapunzel" to the comical visage of the cow in "Tom Thumb." The illustrations are exquisitely rendered in bright colors and the details are a pleasure to peruse and ponder."
