Young doesn't pull his punches in this retelling, from the dark and elegant artwork to the graphic nature of the story (much like the version we are familiar with, in the Grimm version). It's definitely one to check out, for the artwork alone. Of course the fairy tale component makes this Caldecott winner extra desirable for my library....

OMG--I LOVED this book as a little girl. I had completely forgotten about it until now. Those ginkgo nuts are a killer.
