Lovely...Simply Lovely

Lovely is really the only way to describe Wisnewski's retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.  The most attractive feature of this particular version of one of the most retold stories around is the illustrations, which are actually not "illustrations" in the traditional sense.  Here the author uses a cut paper technique that simulates traditional woodcuts which is quite effective and really compliments the story, giving it an old world flavor.  The text is simple and is framed in each two page illustration, adding to the feel that what the reader is looking at is an old handmade story book with colorfully decorated and detailed woodcut artwork.  This was truly a joy to read visually.  The story itself follows the traditional bones and grandma IS eaten while Red buys time to try to escape with the "oh Grandma" lines, which I thought was a nice touch.  There's nothing here that will scare young readers despite the wolf eating the Grandma and the Woodcutter cutting her out of the wolf (scene tastefully screened by bed curtains and left to the imagination).  So what you have is pretty tame, simple text pared with rich artwork that makes Wisnewski's retelling of Little Red Riding Hood ideal for read aloud or for beginning readers.  I'd recommend it for anyone who loves a good picture story book or who collects fairy/folktales, it would make a fine addition to any children's library, I give it 4 Stars!

Beautiful without being gaudy . Simply beautiful.  Shipping was fast and well packed. I get a lot of compliments on this little stunner.

Heartfelt and homespun, these poems are simply lovely.  What is most moving about them is their total authenticity.  There is no artifice.  With old-fashioned candor, they really do provide a view into another person's heart....and a very warm, humorous heart at that.

Lovely, evocative, and subtle. I liked all the songs but one, which is not bad for a collective spanning such diverse albums.

This is the first time I have purchased an album such as this. The music is quietly lovely and serene and the selections are excellent as well as the blend of voices; this is a keeper.

It's a lovely poem visually taking place at night when everything looks silvery in the moonlight. Anything narrated by the calming, gentle, lyrical voice of Helena Bonham Carter is worth listening to over and over. I've never listened to the whole cd, but it's probably just as lovely.

Some music touches your heart in ways nothing else can. This CD contains just such music. This music is atmospheric and uplifting. Enya has a voice like fine crystal, pure and beyond compare. The most beautiful track on this CD is Athair Ar Nearmh - it has crystal clear beauty of such quality that you can only imagine the angels of heaven being capable of achieving it - you just need to close your eyes and feel the beauty of it. I am in complete awe ...

I had this CD for more than a year before I ever really sat and just listened. I'm not sure why I waited so long as I have been in love with Shelby Lynne's voice for quite some time, but on her earlier works (the ones I know well), Ms. Lynne's vocals were part of the musical landscape among all the other instrumentation.

On "Just A Little Lovin'" Ms. Lynne sounds assured, forthright, and sultry as her voice floats over accompaniment that melds and flows---delicate guitar and upright bass, supple piano, and gentle percussion---like an enchanting song from bird that makes listening alone to a gentle rain more melancholy and reflective.

There is no conceit here of trying to "own" these songs or usurp over performer's versions. But the infusion of emotion will resonant with those living through heart break, a beautiful soundtrack to the terrors of love lost.

This is a lovely story that holds a little something for Everyone. Lovely romance....putting the past behind while continuing to  learn much from it as well. Art, as well as beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. Thank you Anna Quindlen, for a pleasant weekend in front of the fire.

A lovely Saturday afternoon or any afternoon read, that leaves you smiling. I appreciate books that take you out of yourself and out of the pressures of life for a few hours. Time just flew by because I was so engrossed in the characters & the story. Simply splendid  & a clean read, which is becoming harder to find these days. Many thanks to the author.

Jill has a way of touching the most inner spirit, and keeping it simple and sweet.  Beautiful album and the beauty of her spirit shines through each and every song.  The range of the emotions and human spirit are evident in each of her songs... from relationship "stuff" - the ups and the downs - to our inter-relations with each other... what we do and don't do to "be there" and support one another... Jill does it again... this album is as solid as her others, and just like the others, it can stand on it's own too... "must buy."

Carrie Biell's latest album is delightful and heartfelt.  Her voicings, both lyrically and her delivery are tender and direct.  She has been on rapid rotation in my mix recently.  How did I miss hearing about her till now?
