Faith Ringgold fans will not be disappointed!, August 1, 2000
This review is from: The Invisible Princess (Hardcover)
The Invisible Princess is an enchanting 'fairy tale' that draws on African American Slave myths and legends. As always, Ringgold provides fascinating background information at the close of the story. The only character on the plantation who can see the daughter of two slaves, the Invisible Princess, is the plantation owner's blind daughter. He is forced to make a powerful decision that changes his life, and the lives of many people. Creatures and forces of nature are personified utilizing a range of gender and race. Ms. Ringgold's illustrations are in keeping with her unique style, though I've been yearning for another with the quilt motif.
