Stories of Enchantment: Twelve Fairy Tale Sonnets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996696258)

When we are young, we live for fairy tales: stories of princes and princesses, witches and ogres, magic and love. Growing older should never mean growing duller. Fairy tales offer life lessons, but, perhaps more importantly, these stories are a call for readers to open themselves up to a chance at enchantment. In this book, twelve popular tales are brought to a new life as poet Jessa R. Sexton condenses them each into sonnet form and illustrator Rehanna Mae Grant captures the characters in a fantastic portrait style. This version of the book is intended for all ages and carries full text versions of the classic fairy tales, by Grimm, Andersen, Wilde, and more, as well as the sonnet versions by Sexton. Also included are mini-essays about each fairy tale. A brief sonnet lesson appears in the back of the text. This book is a great teaching and learning tool for students, teachers, or anyone who loves stories.
