I love illustrations by Helen Oxenbury. Beatrix Potter's stories bring me delight. When I first discovered this book which combined the two, I was thrilled!
Typical of Beatrix Potter, the story includes description of nature. I liked the addition of the woodcutter's song in the beginning of the story.
The illustrations are a feast for the eyes. Ms. Oxenbury does not disappoint!
Warning: The ending is dark. But, Ms. Oxenbury offers hope in her illustration for those sensitive readers.
*Highly recommend.
