Surely among the most original and gifted of children's book illustrators, Paul O. Zelinsky has once again with unmatched emotional authority, control of space, and narrativecapability brought forth a unique vision for an age-old tale. Few artists at work today can touch the level at which his paintings tell a story and exert their hold. Zelinsky's retelling of Rapunzel reaches back beyond the Grimms to a late-seventeenth-century French tale by Mlle. la Force, who based hers on the Neapolitan tale Petrosinella in a collection popular at the time. The artist understands the story's fundamentals to be about possessiveness, confinement, and separation, rather than about punishment and deprivation. Thus the tower the sorceress gives Rapunzel here is not a desolate, barren structure of denial but one of esoteric beauty on the outside and physical luxury within. And the world the artist creates through the elements in his paintings the palette, control of light, landscape, characters, architecture,interiors, costumes speaks to us not of an ugly witch who cruelly imprisons a beautiful young girl, but of a mother figure who powerfully resists her child's inevitable growth, and of a young woman and man who must struggle in the wilderness for the self-reliance that is the true beginningof their adulthood. As ever, and yet always somehow in newly arresting fashion, Paul O. Zelinsky's work thrillingly shows us the events of the story while guiding us beyond them to the truths that have made it endure.

Hans Christian Andersen was born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark. He was introduced to literature by his father who read Arabian Nights to him. Andersen’s fantasies and imaginations began taking shape when he visited a theatre in Odense at the age of seven. Andersen never ceased writing fairy tales. Andersen’s last fairy tales were published in 1872.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ella who wanted nothing more than to have magic. Not the kind of magic to cast spells. No, she wanted a different kind. Especially the day that her puppy, Bear, tried to play with the cat. "Ella!" Her mother laughed when she saw Ella in the animal yard, covered in mud. "What are you doing?" Ella sighed and let the wriggling puppy go. "He made the cat angry, and the cat scratched him all up, and now he won't let me help him." She frowned at the dog. "I wish I had magic. Then I could fix his cuts up with just a few magic words." My Ella," her mother said, wiping the mud from Ella's face. "The magic God gives us isn't like fairy magic. Rather, it's the ability to show love. Love is our magic." Ella began to rub healing medicine on the dog's cuts. "That doesn't make it easy." "It isn't easy," her mother said. "But you have hands to heal with and a tongue with which to speak kind truths. Practice love, and your actions and words will be more powerful than you can know." Inspired by the original tales of Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, Cinderella comes to life again in this story of love, faith, magic, and strength. As with all the Illustrated Fairy Tale Classics, this book is brought to life by Paavo's whimsical watercolor illustrations, this story will inspire children and adults alike time and time again as Ella discovers just how far the magic of love can take her.
