The magical powers of a storybook cannot be denied, but what if within
those pages awaited not traditionally-written fairy tales from all times
and places, but those same tales re-told by some of the world's most
talented and respected artists!
Fairy Tales Reimagined is a lavish hardback tome, containing 288
pages populated by characters who started life known to children and
adults around the world. However, these characters, their settings, and
narratives, have taken on a different form, their stories unflinchingly
transformed. The infamous darkness that shrouds many fairy tales is left
intact, while in others, the weird, wondrous, and even unexpected
workaday awaits.
Lovingly drawn and painted scenes filled with colour and detail make
each reimagining utterly convincing. To help tell these transformed
tales are the artist's scribbles and sketches, giving a
behind-the-scenes glimpse of their creative process. Minimal text
provides just enough information to shed light on these new narratives,
but ultimately the imagery tells the story. Whether seen as an
inspirational art resource, a treasury of tales told through a
fantastical filter, or simply a unique collection of bedtime stories,
Fairy Tales Reimagined will captivate audiences within and far beyond
the realms of practical art.
