The Twelve Dancing Princesses as illustrated by Kinuko Y. Craft
In 1989, Kinuko Y. Craft brought luminous life to The Twelve Dancing Princesses, transforming this beloved fairy tale into a breathtaking visual experience. Published to great acclaim, the book was celebrated as “a lavish feast for the eyes and imagination,” pairing Marianna Mayer’s enchanting retelling with Kinuko’s jewel-like, exquisitely detailed paintings. From forests shimmering in silver, gold, and diamonds to moonlit halls where the princesses dance in secret, each illustration captures the romance, mystery, and splendor that have captivated generations.
