The Steadfast Tin Soldier is the first story Andersen wrote without a folktale source or literary model, so it stands as a completely original work of the imagination, which changed the fairytale genre for all time. "There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers. They were all brothers, born of the same old tin spoon. . . . All looked exactly alike except one. He looked a little different as he had been cast last of all. The tin was short, so he had only one leg. . . . But just you see, he''ll be the remarkable one." So begins Andersen''s classic tale of good and evil; purity and personality; fate and grace. In this boldly-illustrated contemporary retelling, Yoon takes on the harshness and poignancy of the story, leaving readers with the sense that nothing is ever lost--it just changes shape and continues anew.

The Little Otsu Living Things Series is a collection of mini art books in which different artists each explore one idea based around the theme of living things. The tenth and final installment is the glorious "House Plant" by East Coast artist JooHee Yoon. Incorporating her love of printmaking and drawing, the overflowing life of the book is rendered in juxtaposing colors that add vivacity to the loose narrative of plants run amok. The technique creates a raw yet sophisticated set of images that are striking and memorable. We couldn''t have asked for a better ending to the series! Limited edition of 1000.
