Libby Hamilton has written a variety of books for
children, including The Monstrous Book of Monsters, which
was a finalist for the Children’s Choice Book Award.
Tomislav Tomic has been a children’s book illustrator
for many years. His books include the international
bestseller Wizardology.
This interactive guidebook to the fairy-tale world teems with
background details, maps and pop quizzes. … Tomic’s illustrations
have an Old World feel.
—New York Times
Tomic’s artwork borrows from popular representations of fairy-tale
characters and locations, while maintaining a sense of grace and
novelty in his depictions. Interactive features include flaps (for
seeking out hidden animals or discovering the secrets of princesses
like Rapunzel and Snow White), mini-booklets, and pop-up wedding
celebration.
—Publishers Weekly
Elegant figures in medieval dress give the illustrations for this
revue of stock European folk-tale settings and characters (plus
some modern hangers-on) a classic air. The lavish detailing begins
on the cover with a view of a pumpkin carriage nearly hidden by
gnomes and pigs, a wolf in granny clothing, a golden goose and
other recognizable figures.
