Since becoming a professional illustrator, I’ve worked on many kinds of books, from the Nancy Drew series to Golden Books and even an edition of The Little Engine That Could. I grew up with a battered copy of Grimm’s’ Fairy Tales, and read and reread the stories over and over. The Twelve Dancing Princesses was the first book for which I did both the retelling and the illustrations. It is amazing that these stories, passed down from oral tradition long before they were collected and printed, continue to be a source of inspiration for all kinds of media, from books, to plays, movies and television shows. Happily, a new edition of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, a Grimm’s’ fairy tale that I retold and illustrated, coincides with this historic anniversary.
