JORINDA AND JORINGEL

by Grimm Brothers ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 5, 1968

In a crisp new translation by Elizabeth Shub and mellifluous to malevolent illustrations by Adrienne Adams, the tender attachment of Jorinda and Joringel, her imprisonment as a nightingale and their joyful reconciliation is a better book than it ever was a story. And more suitable for younger children, who can't help sense the changes of light that suffuse each scene as they respond actively to the old witch's threat, Jorinda's fear and Joringel's fortitude.
