I first came across this beautiful book at school when a librarian introduced me to it and have had a problem finding it since. Fortunately I now own a released library copy so I can re-read this as many times as my heart desires. This is a beautiful fairytale retelling where the story is familiar enough to lull the reader into thinking they know the end and then having a surprise twist to it. There is more than one hero in this tale but which hero do you call the bravest is up to you. I will admit this is a story you may want to watch reading to your children for it can be bit gruesome in a vague way while the pictures are gorgeous. Sometimes while reading the book I just stare at the pictures for a few minuets since the breath-taking details add to this story. If you like fantasy and fairytales this is definitely a keeper..... sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Illustrated with detailed and captivating drawings on every page, Dove Isabeau tells a classic, haunting fairy tale about a lovely young maiden and her evil, witch stepmother. Having lost her beloved mother, Isabeau only has a white cat for company, while the dark-souled witch wants nothing more than to be rid of her. And so she casts a spell, turning lovely Dove Isabeau into a fearful dragon wyrm who no one can recognize.
Can the King's son Owen from across the sea break the spell? Will the witch be vanquished? And what mysteries does the little white cat hide?
Definitely no ordinary children's storybook, this gorgeous and inspiring fairy tale hearkens back to the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson...but put your mind to rest, the ending is satisfying. :)
