![]() ![]() Shaun has taken 75 fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and created a sculpture to perfectly capture the tone of the story. The Singing Bones is a truly breath-taking book! To hold this book in your hands is like holding a portable art exhibition. ![]() Introduced by Grimm Tales author Philip Pullman and leading fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes, The Singing Bones breathes new life into some of the world’s most beloved fairy tales. Nameless princes, wicked stepsisters, greedy kings, honourable peasants and ruthless witches, tales of love, betrayal, adventure and magical transformation: all inspiration for this stunning gallery of sculptural works. In The Singing Bones Shaun Tan brings Grimms’ fairy tales to life like never before. ![]() When I first saw Shaun Tan’s new book The Singing Bones I was reminded of the dark tales that Jim Henson told, especially when I saw the sculpture that Shaun had created for the Hans My Hedgehog story. One of those stories that has stuck in my head is Hans the Hedgehog, one of Grimms’ Fairy Tales. As a kid I remember being freaked-out watching Jim Henson’s The Storyteller, to the extent that I had nightmares about it. ![]()
