#ReadingResolutions Day 15: In my review of these two books, I juxtaposed the #OldAndNew versions of the same faery tales; the old magnificently illustrated by Maurice Sendak, and the new created by the unparalleled Shaun Tan. Full review here: https://gatheringbooks.org/2016/01/11/saturday-reads-6/ - will tag host once Litsy is working.

Cinfhen I'm always amazed that these stories and drawings were created for children 😱they're a little frightening... 8y
LectricSheep @cinfhen at least the dog is cute. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 8y
Seshat Indeed, @Cinfhen but The Fisherman and His Wife isn't too bad as these things go. Also, folk and fairy tales weren't necessarily made for children. 8y

Seshat @Cinfhen and @LectricSheep You have to love Maurice Sendak. 8y
Cinfhen Sendak' drawings are fantastic and easily recognizable 💕 8y
Seshat @Cinfhen for sure. I have this 2 vol set of Grimm's with his illustrations, obviously. I also have My Brother's Book and Dear Mili. I got the Trident Edition of that crazy Melville book, Pierre and the Ambuities just for the Sendak illustrations. 😀 8y

#aprilamazingreads #day7 #bestintranslation I guess I will go with the Brothers Grimm. I thought about highlighting the Rumi poems or the Oedipus plays of Sophocles. @jess.how

Of course I got books - and a glorious Voyage e-reader which I adore. It was my reader niece, though (the one to whom I can send a copy of The Secret History and say "read this so we can talk about it") who blew me away with thoughtfulness. This is a two volume, first edition with illustrations by Maurice Sendak. It's a treasure.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Wow! That is so cool. Yay your niece! 8y
