THE FAUN AND THE WOODCUTTER'S DAUGHTER

by Barbara Leonie Picard ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 1, 1964

A companion volume to the exceptional The Lady and the Linden Tree (1962, p. 176, J-54) this illustrate once again Miss Picard's knack of wrapping new story fabric around traditional material. The fourteen fairy tales presented here have ingenious plots and imaginative characterizations (worldly or otherwise); witness Count Bertrand and his strange triumph over Death; Count Alaric's Lady in which the Count meets the demands of ""perfect love""; Tiger Lily and the Dragon, where poetry finds more than its own reward, and the title story's vivid climax. Fourteen talespinning delights.
