5.0 out of 5 stars Truly gorgeous and compelling
This is one of my favorite kids books. The paintings/illustrations are original and beautiful and whimsical and human and devastating -- the woman's dress with the fish is astounding -- and I never tire of staring at them. The story is compelling.

3.0 out of 5 stars six swans
This book is about a girl that has to remain silent and not laugh for six years to turn her brothers into humans again. She also has to sew shirts for them during this time.
The tale is alright. It shows women as heroines but in order to do it she has to sew; again women are oppressed. Read this story you will also learn about family fidelity.
