The Fisherman and his Wife

The traditional tale (collected by the Brothers Grimm) of the ever escalating demands of the fisherman's wife upon the fish her husband saves, is given a humorous illustrative interpretation by a new illustrator whose work has a hint of Tony Ross about it. The repetitive nature of this highly moral tale, which reads aloud well. makes it a good one to offer apprentice readers who will gain added satisfaction from reading a longish book.
