The story of Prokofiev's opera, newly illustrated.
A Timber Wolf comes out from the trees, and the world all around seems to freeze. A contemporary telling of a great old tale, because we all still love to be scared!
Reprint. Originally published: New York: Viking, 1982.
Retells the orchestral fairy tale of the boy, who ignoring his grandfather's warnings, proceeds to capture a wolf.
THERE IS NO better way to introduce children to classical music than with Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale of the little boy who, with the help of a bird, outsmarted the big, bad wolf. A new retelling by Janet Schulman follows the basic story, but with a kinder ending for both the big, bad wolf and the argumentative duck. Peter Malone’s paintings have the luminous quality of old Russian masters.
Collector Benjamin Byrd has added a new and eerie item to his archives: a set of fangs embedded in silver. As he grows more and more obsessed with his new treasure, he finds himself experiencing dreams and visionary adventures. Soon, Benjamin’s normal, successful routine is transformed beyond anything he ever imagined; he has to confront the truth that he is no longer simply human. This powerful and lyrical story brings into our own day-to-day lives the story of the werewolf.
The story of Peter and the Wolf continues to delight children and adults all over the world. At the heart of the tale is the message that you can't be a hero if you don't take risks.
