Bearskin Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman
|
Betrayed by his own father, the infant son of a lowly miller narrowly escapes death and is lovingly adopted by a faithful she-bear. Raised on her nourishing milk, the boy becomes the strongest man in the land--and the only one brave enough to battle the kingdom's bloodthirsty three-headed dragon: Yet it is wit, not just courage and might, that the hero must employ to win his true desire: the delicate hand of a princess already betrothed to another.
Nothing could be more delicious than the marvelous quest that ensues--a tale of romantic valor, stolen glory, and sweet justice. Trina Schart Hyman has created a pictorial drama that is alive with good humor and splendid characters as forever memorable as Howard Pyle's timeless story. Hardcover Signed Editions $ 18.00 |
