Each page of this book is a work of art. Zelinsky has perfectly captured the rich colors and ornate architecture of the Renaissance. The jewel-toned gowns of the women, the flowing curls in the style of Botticelli, it is all here. There are details in each picture, as well that add to the mood of the setting; a peacock in the sorceress' garden and the intricacies on Rapunzel's gown, for example.

The text is also superb. When read aloud, it sounds just like a fairy tale should.
