The Enchantment (Sonnet Books)
by Jessa R. Sexton
Category: Juvenile Fiction

When we are young, we live for fairy tales: stories of princes and princesses, witches and ogres, magic and love. Growing older should never mean growing duller. Fairy tales offer life lessons, but, perhaps more importantly, these stories are a call for readers to open themselves up to a chance at enchantment. In this book, twelve popular tales are brought to a new life as poet Jessa R. Sexton condenses them each into sonnet form and illustrator Rehanna Mae Grant captures the characters in a fantastic portrait style. This version of the book can be enjoyed by all, but it is intended for younger audiences. It carries the twelve sonnets and illustrations, without the in-depth look at the full fairy tale texts that comes with the STORIES OF ENCHANTMENT version. However, this book still carries a short sonnet lesson and is still an incredibly delightful addition to any children's book library.
