From the very first page, when eleven princes are changed by an evil spell into wild swans, to the chilling climax–when their sister, Elise, is taken to be burned as a witch–readers will be held spellbound by the imaginative power of Hans Christian Andersen's The Wild Swans.
Now, Susan Jeffers has created flowing, elegant paintings that vividly capture the mystery, drama, and excitement of this classic work and evoke the elements of suffering and love that are at its center.
Amy Ehrlich's text is a fluent adaptation of Andersen's original fairy tale. And Susan Jeffer's remarkably beautiful paintings will make adults remember why they loved The Wild Swans when they were young and recreate its meaning for a new generation of children.
