Magnificent full-color paintings and drawings in a jaw-droppingly beautiful oversized edition.
New York Times Book Review
In many of the watercolors, versions of familiar Renaissance paintings which echo the action of the story are subtly tucked into the scene. A well designed, brilliantly illustrated, new edition of the classic. American Library Association Booklist
This is a book to treasure, both for its illustrations and
sheer, loving book craft. Simply first-rate.Locus
This book should bring pleasure to readers young and old for years to come. Go out and buy two copies — one for yourself and one for someone you love. The Vancouver Sun
A treasure of a book and a gift to be remembered. The Midwest Book Review
A must buy.
