A contemporary retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen classic beautifully illustrated by artist Sun Young Yoo.
Artist Sun Young Yoo first encountered Hans Christian Anderson's classic tale of taboo desire, The Red Shoes, as a child, and its impact left a lasting impression. This modern interpretation of this classic story is original and visually compelling. Sun Young's exquisite, labor intensive, hand done pen and ink drawings are both technically masterful and artistically stunning.
"One of the most eye-catching books in the bookstore this season is 'The Red Shoes'—illustrated by Sun Young Yoo. The book is a re-telling of the classic Andersen fairy tale with lush linework. Its dark illustrations evoke Edward Gorey with a touch of Manhwa (Korean comics). Definitely check it out if you can." —Drawn! The Illustration Blog
