Artist Statement

When I was given the opportunity to design a cover for “Recovering the Classics” , I had already been working on a series of fairy tale illustrations for a book of my own re-visioned fairy tales, so “Grimms’ Fairy Tales” was a natural choice. Hans, the spunky Hedgehog Boy, reviled by the father who wanted a son “even if he be a hedgehog,” but determined to survive, had also become one of my favorite offbeat characters. “Hans the Hedgehog” is one of the lesser known Grimm tales, and I wanted others to make his acquaintance as well. He’s small but prickly and astute, and he prevails. — Caroline Trippe
