Singing Bones by Shaun Tan

Artist Shaun Tan is world renowned for his singular vision and storytelling abilities. This art book showcases his sculptural talent, applied here to fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm. Tan captures the essence of these tales as he brings traitorous brothers, lonely princesses, cunning foxes, honourable peasants and ruthless witches to life in surprising – and illuminating – ways. Unlike the rest of the books on this list this is not a novel. Singing Bones features pictures of sculptures created by the artist alongside snippets of stories from the Grimm fairytales. Perfect for any budding artists out there – or someone who would enjoy a fairly relaxed read.
