Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, often known as the Brothers Grimm, were German professors whose collections of folk tales and fairy tales have been loved for generations. Maja Dusíková was born in Slovakia in 1946. She has illustrated over forty books for children. She lives with her family in Florence, Italy. She is the illustrator of The Princess and the Pea (Floris Books).
'Maja Dusikova's Rapunzel retells a classic fairy tale and adds
lovely, soft-edged drawings [...] Good reading skills or parental
assistance will lend to the beautiful story of a braided beauty
with a beautiful voice and a brave prince who breaks her
isolation.'
-- Midwest Book Review
'This is a good story with beautiful pictures. I think everyone
should read it.'
-- Shreya (aged 6), Kids' Book Buzz
On Dusíkovás edition of The Princess and the Pea:
'Dusikova's pictures are full of soft edges and soft colours, with
pretty architectual details and an assortment of castle denizens,
including a pair of cats and a toddler in a jester's motley. A
rendering to bring a smile or possibly a giggle.'
-- Kirkus Review (USA)
