Description
|
|
|
|
(A New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year) A simple story, told with superb attention to detail, Brave Irene has no villains (except perhaps the winter wind), no magic (although there is a minor miracle), and a young female hero whose chief virtue is her determination. Yet William Steig's 1986 picture book for readers of all ages is "an extraordinarily eloquent story about love and courage" (The New Yorker) and "has the timeless quality of a classic fairytale" (Publishers Weekly). After her mother finishes sewing an evening dress for the duchess, but is too ill to deliver it, Irene takes it to the palace through a howling snowstorm—until the wind tears it from her grasp.
