Alice and Martin Provensen were one of the most talented husband-and-wife author-illustrator teams of the twentieth century.

Milne, Hans Christian Andersen, and Oscar Wilde. Here too are clever retellings and newly imagined tales- refined old favorites like Arthur Rackham's "Beauty and the Beast," feminist revisions like Elinor Mordaunt's "The Prince and the Goose Girl," and sensitive stories by literary stylists like Henry Beston's "The Lost Half-Hour" and Katharine Pyle's "The Dreamer." Full of magic, ingenuity, and humor, The Provensen Book of Fairy Talesis a witty modern descendant of Grimm's Fairy Talesand a classic in its own right, sure to be beloved by a new generation.
