Ruth Sanderson is the renowned illustrator and author of over 80 books for children. Her fairy tale retellings have been widely praised and much loved by children everywhere. Her original fairy tale, The Enchanted Wood, won both the Young Hoosier Award and the Bank Street College Award. The Texas Bluebonnet Award was given to her retelling of The Golden Mare, the Firebird, and the Magic Ring. Her beautiful and ornate version of the classic fable Goldilocks is the latest addition to the collection.
"A lovely, lucid retelling of an Italian folktale... The oil
paintings glow with warm, rich tones. Sanderson pays meticulous
attention to detail and captures the mood perfectly... An unusual,
well-illustrated, appealing book."
"Sanderson's elegant, richly descriptive language contributes to a
smooth retelling, and her lavish oil paintings are as beautifully
handled as the narrative, evoking the lush textures of the clothing
and textiles, the lovely landscaped gardens, and the luxurious
apartments... if you have this book on hand, other versions won't
be necessary. A wonderful picture book"
