The Twelve Dancing Princesses by Ruth Sanderson - I love Ruth Sanderson illustrations! This is gorgeous! Happy Reading!
Another lovely fairy tale accompanied by absolutely beautiful pictures. Admittedly I prefer versions that have a better explained reason for the girls having to dance, but it’s still a fun story for kids.
Four stars for the gorgeous and magical oil paintings, three stars for choosing the diluted Victorian version. I understand the publication was probably meant to be suitable for younger children, hence the lack of references to death and using love as motivation, but that's just not that interesting to me personally.
I used to read this book over and over as a child - specifically this edition - because the illustrations are so, so beautiful!!! Lovely to find this again and to finally own a copy! This will forever be my fave version because of Ruth Sanderson’a beautiful illustrations.

Love this version of the story, its way more girl power and not creepy. I had this growing up and always loved the illustrations of the shoes. I tried to find it again and found another version that absolutely creeped me out. This ones the bessst.
I enjoyed the pictures in this, but not so much the adaptation. This is one of my favorite fairy tales, though, so I tend to prefer the original story.
Loved this version of one of my favorite fairy tales! Partying every night with your eleven sisters and poisoning any man that tries to tattle? Hell yeah. The illustrations were beautiful and I loved Michael's mullet 😆
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS illustrations. Highly recommended.
