An enchanting retelling of nineteen fairy tales, introduced by popular
fantasy writer Philip Pullman
Originally published in 1927, Told Again is an enchanting collection
of elegant fairy tales, showcasing the formidable talents of Walter de
la Mare, one of the most celebrated writers of children's literature
during the first half of the twentieth century. His abundant literary
gifts can be savored once more in this beautiful new edition. Nineteen
adapted classics, including "Rapunzel," "Little Red Riding-Hood,"
"Rumplestiltskin," and "The Sleeping Beauty," are made new by de la
Mare's poetic insights and graceful prose, making these tales
appropriate for younger readers. With marvelous black and white
illustrations by A. H. Watson, this volume also presents a splendid
introduction by Philip Pullman, the contemporary master of fantasy
literature.
