Three Gay Tales from Grimm
Enchanting adaptations of Grimm by renowned artist and author Wanda Gág
Her body of children’s books is not large, but each title is a treasure, done in her instantly recognizable style.

Bound by a common thread—a serene foolishness cropping up in many a character and absurd situation—the three charming tales in this long unavailable book are not as well-known as they deserve to be. Wanda Gág’s interpretations of “The Clever Wife” and “The Three Feathers” are exceptionally funny, while “Goose Hans” is particularly hard to find in Grimm collections. Gág’s uniquely American translations and her equally enchanting illustrations will provide sheer delight for the young and old.

Gág was among the first to create what we now call an artist-concept book—written, designed, and illustrated by one person. Her stories always have a funny twist that engages children. Her simplicity appeals in this complex world.
