What I’m Up to at Kirkus This Week
December 7th, 2012 by jules
Today at the Kirkus Book Blog Network, I offer up two holiday gift ideas for Children’s Literature Lovers and the Children to Whom They Read. Or two Neat Gift Ideas for People You Actually Like.
To be even more specific, these are gift ideas for the fairy tale lovers in your life.
I write about Philip Pullman’s Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm: A New English Version, released by Viking in November.
I also take a quick look at a new version of Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio, illustrated by Fulvio Testa, one of Italy’s most renowned artists and illustrators, with an introduction by Italian novelist, philosopher, and essayist Umberto Eco (released by the New York Review Children’s Collection in October).
The link is here.
Brothers Grimm are my favorite. Love the “Das Totenhemdchen” story…
