Customer Reviews

the most amazing illustrations ever!

clearly inspired by hieronymus bosch, these 2 artists spent 6 years working on the most beautifully engaging and surreal illustrations i've seen, which elevates the story to a new level.

Clever thinking

The little tailor has to kill two giants to win the King's daughter and half the kingdom. He does this by using the kings soilders and clever thinking. This book shows that no matter how big the job is you can get it done.

perfect

This book is a beautiful masterpiece, with a subtle influence from Hieronymous Bosch. They don't make them like this any more. Very few illustrated children's books show the level of love and care put into this one. It would be a lovely addition to a child's book collection, or for anyone who loves and appreciates art.

stunning timeless illustration throughout

This retelling of the Brave Little Tailor is a suitable vehicle for the breathtaking illustrations throughout. Subtle details hide on every page waiting to be discovered. While I was rendered breathless by the depth of each drawing, my son thought the book was scary. He didn't really follow all the mollusks and creatures. That's ok though, there is a sophistication to this children's book that makes it more at home on my coffee table than on his bookshelf. Well worth a look.
