Kate DiCamillo, illus. by Julie Morstad, Júlia Sardà, and Sophie Blackall
Two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo's Norendy Tales is a trilogy of novellas "bound by place and mood," each featuring black-and-white art from a different illustrator. These original fairytales have been collected and tied together in a handsome box set which includes a frameable full-color print.
In The Puppets of Spelhorst, the first in the Norendy Tales, illustrated by Julie Morstad, five puppets--a king, a girl, a boy, an owl, and a wolf--find they have a connected but unexpected destiny. The Hotel Balzaar, the second novella in the trilogy, illustrated by Júlia Sardà, features young Marta, a girl who quietly roams the halls of the hotel where her mother works in the land of Norendy. In the third fairytale, Lost Evangeline, illustrated by Sophie Blackall, a Norendy shoemaker finds a tiny girl--"as small as a mouse!"--and raises her until his wife forces her out. The novellas are peppered with smart, wry humor, balanced with moving moments of flawed humanity--perfect for gift-giving.
