The Little Mermaid and The Magic Shell Illustrated by Susanna Lockheart, Stories adapted by Saviour Pirotta and Alice Peebles - All books by this author If You Love A… - All books in this series Two captivating mermaid tales feature artist Susanna Lockheart’s beautifully atmospheric and highly detailed color illustrations on every page. Her wonderful art is enhanced by an ingenious paper engineering technique that makes the pictures change as if by magic each time young readers lift and turn a page. The “moving” illustrations vividly complement and dramatize a modernized version of the timeless fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, as well as a story from Japanese folklore, The Magic Shell.
The Magic Shell: Set on the coast of Japan, this is the story of a poor boy who does a good deed and is thanked by a mermaid who gives him a magic seashell. When he puts the seashell to his ear, it tells him that the emperor’s daughter is dying—but it also tells him how to save her. The seashell’s magic works and the boy is rewarded by the emperor. (Ages 5 and older) About The Author: Susanna Lockheart was trained as a graphic artist and worked in various capacities as a designer before becoming a children’s book illustrator. Her interest in children’s book illustration was inspired by her daughter’s love of storybooks. Susanna Lockheart lives and works in London. (0764163205) Hardcover / 24 Pages / 12 x 9 1/4 / 2010 | ||
