Classic Bedtime Tales

A new collection of fairy tales includes both well-known and beloved fairy stories, as well as those that you may see for the first time. Such is the choice of the storyteller-artist. For Scott Gustafson not only illustrates but also... retells his favorite magical stories featuring beautiful princesses, brave princes, and other famous fairy-tale characters. You will find tales: "Sleeping Beauty," "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Tale of the Town and Country Mice," "The Tale of the Tigers and Little Sambe," "The Bremen Town Musicians," "Three Billy Goats Gruff," "The Lion and the Mouse," "Jack and the Beanstalk."
His unique style, shaped by the influence of famous book illustrators N. S. White, Arthur Rackham, and Norman Rockwell, captivates the hearts of people of all ages. "I want my characters' feelings to be understood by children," says Gustafson, "but I want to create something that they will return to when they grow up, something they can share with their own children… something that will make them say, 'You know, I liked these pictures as a child, and now I see something more in them.'
This book will undoubtedly find its rightful place on the shelf of every child; indeed, it is worth passing on to their children and grandchildren when they grow up. And to their great-grandchildren.
