### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    amazing sculptures that symbolize Grimm fairy tales
  

*by L***) on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019*

Shaun Tan is a remarkable and versatile artist-storyteller. His tales are usually modern and conveyed in drawings/paintings, but here he turns to the classic fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm and renders them in small sculptures inspired by Inuit art. These sculptures don’t merely illustrate the stories; they ARE the stories, with each tale summed up in a single, perfect visual image.Each sculpture is shown in a carefully composed photograph, with the sculpture isolated against a dark background. The photographs are all full-page and in color. Facing each photo is a page containing the name of the tale and a striking quotation from Tan’s retelling of it, amounting to no more than about 10 lines of fairly large type. The quotation and the sculpture together encapsulate the heart of the tale.For those who don’t remember the Grimm stories from their own childhoods, an “annotated index” at the end of the book provides a one-paragraph summary of the plot of each story. Rounding out the book is a foreword by Neil Gaiman and an afterword by Tan, the latter describing his inspiration and the materials he used.This book would be a perfect gift for anyone, child or adult, who enjoys fantasy and art and would like to see a fresh take on this familiar but archetypal material.

    Hidden gem!
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2019*

I accidentally happened upon this gem of a book. It made the perfect gift for my husband who is a ceramic artist. The artwork is uniuque and the quality of the book is exceptional. I only wish Tan had more published work like this. Maybe he will do more in the future?

    How Far Can He Go?
  

*by T***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019*

Shaun Tan's creative genius and skills must have no boundaries, the little statues accompanied with excerpts from Grimm stories, grand idea. These statues or statuettes if you please are packed with meaning and intimacy it almost gives you pain while you observe them. Wish he sold them as well.
