A fascinating folk tale/fairy tale with rich illustrations by Ms. Brett
The miller's three daughters are beautiful. The eldest loves pretty things and looking at herself. The middle daughter spends her days dancing. The youngest daughter is industrious and kind. When an elderly woman stays with them for the winter, she gives each of the daughters the opportunity to learn to read. Only the youngest daughter seizes the opportunity. An evil enchanter hears about the lovely daughters. He captures all three daughters. The youngest daughter, because of her ability to read, frees herself, her sisters, and seventeen other young ladies from a spell.
I borrowed this book because I wanted to view Ms. Brett's earlier art work. Her art has evolved. Contrasting this book with her more recent publications would prove to be an interesting activity.
*Highly recommend.
