One of the most eye-catching books in the bookstore this season is The Red Shoes [Amazon Link] – illustrated by Sun Young Yoo. The book is a re-telling of the classic Andersen fairy tale with lush linework. It’s dark illustrations evoke Edward Gorey with a touch of Manhwa (Korean comics). Definitely check it out if you can.

The book is published by Ammo books who just released the popular edition of Charley Harper’s ouevre (our review here). Looking forward to more from Ammo.

  • Oh I LOVE this! Wish I could see more of this illustrator or had the money for the book right now!
