Recensioner i media

Walker Studio is an imprint aiming to produce “books for book lovers” and this, its launch title, certainly encapsulates that. Acclaimed artist Shaun Tann has created meticulously staged sculptural works of 75 Grimms fairytales, each photographed and accompanied by an excerpt from the story. The result is just stunning: hypnotic, dreamlike images that capture the essence of these timeless tales.

  1. 5/5 Jonas

    Denna samling av Shaun Tans otroliga sagoillustrationer är välgjord och välfylld. Allt från valet av papper till storleken på boken är väl avvägt. Det är en bok att försvinna in i.
