Written by Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison and her son Slade Morrison, Pascal Lemaitre's ingenious illustrations add a wry sophistication to this already vibrant and defiantly ambiguous book. In our versions', says Toni Morrison, 'the original stories are opened up and their moralistic endings re-imagined: The victim might not loose; the timid gets a chance to become strong; the fool can gain insight; the powerful may lose their grip. Anything can happen. For All Ages.'
