East o’ the Sun and West o’ the Moon by Naomi Lewis

I have just read this book and.. well the pictures are nice. Quite honestly the telling of the story is kind of choppy, to the point where you can almost feel the gaps as you're reading it, but the progression is faithful to older versions of the myth. The writing was pretty bad, but the pictures were nice. They were colourful with an attention given to detail (which maybe should've been directed to the storytelling) that almost made up for what I disliked about the book. And on top of that this fairy tale is one of my favourites so maybe I'm just being hard on it for that reason.
