The Red Shoes by Sun Young Yoo
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.
This is my favourite page… the hair becomes a river.
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.
