See? It can be done! I've never read this adaptation, and I don't even like the fairy tale it's based on, but I still covet this book. It's weird and gorgeous--the kind of book that your aunt sends you when you're five and you're secretly kind of scared of, but you hang onto until you're twenty-seven so you can give it to your own kid because it was just so awesome. (Not that this has ever happened to me. But thanks for that copy of Jumanji, Aunt Joanne!)
