Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A comprehensive anthology. . . . Also of note are artist Frank’s gorgeous illustrations.”
—Library Journal“It is not often that a new book comes along that is both a breakthrough in scholarly terms and also a magnificent work of art. Jack Zipes’s
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, illustrated by Natalie Frank, is both.”
—Maria Tatar, Breezes from Wonderland“Jack Zipes has always been a kind of sorcerer himself, skilled in discovering, transforming, translating, and understanding the old tales of magic that appear in different but similar forms all over the world. This is a wonderful collection.”
—Alison Lurie, author of Don’t Tell the Grown-Ups“An eclectic collection . . . spanning millennia and continents.”
—Cameron Woodhead, Sydney Morning Herald “A selection of high-quality tales. . . . This book offers a convincing explanation for the immortality of tales featuring the sorcerer’s apprentice.”
