"Ben Nadler retells one of my favorite fairy tales … turning it into a fast-paced and irreverent graphic novel. The result is funny, engaging and an absolute delight. "
—New York Times Book ReviewYoung Randall dreams of adventures until one day he’s sent off on a mission to discover the neighboring king’s secret. When he returns, he’s thrown in a dungeon and despairs until Princess Tilda — the power behind the throne – entices him to compete for her hand. Courage, determination — and Tilda’s trust in him – toss him from one adventure to the next as he dives for a ring at the bottom of the ocean and searches for a Golden Apple from the Tree of Life. BEN NADLER’s modern version in comics highlights the timeless truth at the heart of this Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale in a way that is sure to delight and resonate with today’s young readers.
¿Listen to the animals!¿ An urgent message from the past for today and tomorrow.
"Nadler has reinterpreted the Grimms' fairy tale for 2019, playing with gender roles and cultural representation in the process ? this presentation will certainly better resonate with young readers today ? You'll almost certainly come away smiling from ear to ear."
