About This Item
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2016. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. William Steig color illustrations. CONDITION: What makes this book "As New?" - the small black remainder mark top edges at spine. That's all - that's it. UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2016 Atheneum Books for Young Readers small hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Clever and fun color illustrations by William Steig. CONTENT: From the beloved children's book duo, Jeanne and William Steig, comes six classic fairy tales retold with a refreshing twist that will keep you laughing from beginning to end! "Is it Crumple or Blister, or Guggle or Nank? Williwaw, Flimflam, or Hiccup or Clank?" Says the Queen to Rumplestiltskin, of course! In this delightfully odd and sublime collection of six classic fairy tales, Jeanne and William Steig put a quirky twist on "Rumplestiltskin," "Beauty and the Beast," "Hansel and Gretel," "Little Red Riding Hood," "The Frog Prince," and "Jack and the Beanstalk." Retold in illustrated verse, A Handful of Beans is a wry and highly amusing take on the tales you thought you knew. (What else would you expect from the creators of Shrek?)
