Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st ed thus. Product DescriptionA tailor who kills seven flies with one blow outwits the king and earns half his kingdom and his daughter's hand in marriageFrom School Library JournalKindergarten-Grade 4-- Children will be charmed by Bell's translation of the tale about the tailor who advertised his prowess by embroidering a sash proclaiming "Seven at a Blow." The narrative respects the original story; the text is not diluted, and it is lengthy. Vocabulary such as courtiers, contemptuously, and desperate adds to the vitality of the story. The settings and clothing in Tharlet's detailed and appropriate soft-toned watercolor washes suggest the Middle Ages. Beginning with the book jacket and the title page, there is much to examine at close range: flies on the jam pot, a bell on the giant's cap, the soldiers' battered boots, and the ragged edge of the tailor's well-used scissors are just a few examples. Most unusual is Tharlet's use of perspective. Often the scene is viewed from the corner of the ceiling or from the height of a tree branch. The wide-lens view gives the audience a feeling of "looking in" and sharing the tailor's secret. The fearless, bright-eyed little adventurer is a contrast in size and wits to the expansive and dull-appearing giants with whom he clashes. The style and texture of Tharlet's illustrations are very different from San Souci's vibrant version (Doubleday, 1982; o.p.), but these two books, used together, would provide many opportunities to look at how two artists view the same tale. --Miriam Hansen, formerly at Eau Claire Schools, WICopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
