Enfermée dans une tour, une belle jeune fille ne peut y voir que la sorcière qui l’a emprisonnée. Jusqu’au jour où un prince entend le chant de sa voix...S’inspirant de sources française et italienne, mais aussi des Frères Grimm, Paul O Zelinsky privilégie la part d’humanité de ce conte traditionnel, nous entraînant au-delà des événements de l’histoire pour découvrir ses vérités puissantes et durables. Les éblouissantes peintures à l’huile évoquent non pas une prison désertique et inhospitalière, mais une tour d’une beauté ésotérique et luxueuse ; non pas une horrible sorcière qui emprisonne cruellement une jeune fille, mais une image maternelle qui combat avec force la métamorphose inévitable de son enfant... Comptant parmi les illustrateurs américains les plus originaux et doués de son époque, Paul O Zelinsky offre ici une vision exceptionnelle d’un conte multiséculaire, écho de la complexité des rapports humains. Cet album a été couronné par la Caldecott Medal 1998 qui s’ajoute aux très nombreuses autres distinctions attribuées à son auteur.
