Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Jan Pienkowski brings traditional Polish fairy tales to life with vibrant and witty paper-cut illustrations.
Dragons and kings, frogs and spells, witches and mermaids -- all the hallmark characters of traditional Polish fairy tales are found in this magical collection. Jan Pienkowski draws on a distinctive cut-paper technique learned as a child in Poland to produce dramatic and vibrant illustrations for eight time-honored stories. Celebrating honesty, loyalty, and creativity, stories such as "The Krakow Dragon" and "The Warsaw Mermaid" will captivate today's child as much as they did young Jan during his childhood. A pronunciation guide assists the reader with Polish place and character names.
