This represents a fairy tale because it deals with both a possible and impossible adventure. In this book I was able to distinguish between good and evil, heroes and villains, conflict and resolution. ( )

This is a great example of a folktale or fantasy story. It is a Norwegian tale that was part of a compilation published in 1844. Witches don't cast spells and turn princes into bears in real life. Lynch took the story and illustrated it with the most incredible water color paitings I have ever seen in a children's book. The plot is very intriguing, as the talking bear takes a poor man's youngest daughter away. Intensity slowly rises as she listens to her mothers advice and the story climaxes. The action falls and again begins to rise until the final climax of the story in the end, and they live happily ever after.

This is a great book with amazing illustrations! It is about a woman who has to travel to the ends of the Earth to find her true love. It is a great adventure story for children that at a little older.

This is a bit "old" for Alex right now but I hope that someday either him or Maya will love as it is one of my own favorites. ( )
