Yuri Norstein and Tale of Tales: An Animator's Journey (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Clare Kitson has written an exemplary book . . . The tale she tells sheds light on the origins and makings of the images, on their relation to Norstein's life and to Russian culture, to other works of art (poems and paintings) and to the troubled culture of censorship. She illuminates, and deepens the mystery, leaving the power of the images intact and strengthened, which is what good criticism should do." -- A.S. Byatt, The Guardian (U.K.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Yuri, October 9, 2005

By	Michael Trainor - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great book although it would be even better if it included more color illustrations. The book does give a great look into the background of the his films.
