The Elves and the Shoemaker: Thoughts

Posted in Fiction, Picture Books at 3:38 am by Rosepixie

The Elves and the ShoemakerThis isn’t a bad retelling of this fairy tale, but I can not figure out why they changed the elves from being naked to just being clothed poorly. Maybe they were afraid to draw naked elves? But it would have been easy to avoid that! Anyway, the illustrations are odd, but certainly interesting - almost surreal in a way. Overall I felt like this was an ok version of the story, but really nothing special.
