Step into the haunting world of The Red Shoes and follow a young girl's fateful dance in this richly illustrated keepsake edition from Pook Press' Golden Age of Illustration Series, celebrating the enduring fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen.
Born into poverty, Karen knows little beyond hardship until she is gifted a simple pair of red cloth shoes. When she wears them to her mother's funeral, her life takes an unexpected turn. As her comfort and privileges grow, so does Karen's pride. Ignoring warnings and driven by stubborn desire, she becomes obsessed with a dazzling pair of red shoes whose enchantment leads her down a dangerous path. As the shoes compel her into an endless, punishing dance, Karen is forced to confront the true cost of vanity.
In celebration of Hans Christian Anderson's treasured fairy tale, this beautiful edition brings together some of the finest illustrations from the Golden Age, featuring artwork by masters such as Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, Harry Clarke, Honor Appleton, and more. A timeless collector's edition from Pook Press, this wonderful book is the perfect keepsake for any fairy tale library.
