An intriguing and exhilarating reimagining of the Grimm fairytales which brings together the well-known and the less familiar, all in David Hockney's inimitable style
This is the first reprint of the book since its original 1969 publication
A delectably illustrated interpretation of these age-old tales, redesigned for a modern audience
David Hockney s interpretation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales are like no other version you will have read before. Although inspired by earlier illustrators of the tales, from Arthur Rackham to Edmund Dulac, Hockney s extraordinary etchings re-imagine these strange and supernatural stories for a modern audience, capturing their distinctive atmosphere in a style that is recognisably the artist s own. Reprinted for the first time since its original publication in 1969, Hockney s book brings together some well-known tales Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin with others that are less familiar. Informed by great art of the past, attuned to idiosyncrasies of character and incident, and fresh in execution and content, his illustrations invite us to read each one as if for the first time.
David Hockney OM CH RA is an internationally acclaimed artist. He studied at Bradford School of Art from 1953 to 1957 and at the Royal College of Art, London, from 1959 to 1962. He lived in Los Angeles for many years, and now splits his time between America and Normandy.

Breaks down complex learning into bite-sized chunks. A truly effective and engaging approach to learning!
Written and fact-checked by a nature expert and long-time National Geographic author
Micro-learning (also known as bite-sized learning) is the very practical technique of teaching kids complex information in phases that they can understand and master. The idea is, that the smaller and more detailed the teaching unit, the more it is imprinted in children s minds. Once internalised, they can build on that imprinted knowledge and grow to master even the most complex subject matter. Each spread in this volume, 1000+ Bite-Sized Facts! Nature, will address a specific topic from different points of view, with both visual, numerical, and verbal explanations. The four macro topics covered are: vegetables, animals, habitats and geology. Ages 8 plus.
Cristina Banfi has been involved in science communication for more than two decades. An academic and natural science graduate from the University of Milan, Banfi focuses on opportunities to teach through play, and has been aNational Geographic reference book author for White Star for many years.
