The book that this creator rapt, delicate imagery is appropriate, a well-known fairy tales: The Frog King or Iron Henry, illustrated by Binette Schroeder.
This means Nicoletta Ceccoli (one of the most successful Italian illustrators!):
"I love dramatic Binette Use of perspective and shadow in this book. They also created for this story an eerie, fantastic landscape where mountains, trees and animals have human faces.
I also love the scenes with the multiple images, creating a wonderful sense of movement. Binette work is surrealistic and refined. I love how well thought out her art to the eye of an adult, yet still very communicative and enticing for children "

And here is the recommendation of Klaus Ensikat:
Ensikat Klaus was one of the most famous illustrators of the GDR. His images appeared among others in "The Magazine" and "Jester". After unification, he became professor of drawing at the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg. 1995 Prof. Ensikat children received the Literature Award and in 1996 became his life's work with the Hans Christian Andersen Award honored. His latest award is the Youth Literature Prize 2010 for his book "The Riddle of the Varus Battle"
But now to the favorites of his childhood, and the book, which he remembers to this day most in life. James Fenimore Cooper "The Deerslayer ".
"Whether this book was my favorite children's book or is, I can not say. It only took me very impressed. It has impressed me twice. The first time I read it was in the 40ziger years, all 5 Leather Stocking parts in a thick volume and on a Sunday. The text was certainly terrible shortened. The figure of Nathaniel Bumpoo to me but since then certainly present. My idea of nature or of North American wilderness by the relatively sparse forest supports the Mark, the book has inspired safe. 30 years later I met the first volume of the Leatherstocking books "The Deerslayer" under an illustration job. I read an unknown to me, completely new book. The heroic story of a Ranger, a fur hunter was the precise depiction of the brutal insight of European civilization in the world of native Americans. A book beyond all Indians romance. The timing of the events portrayed positioned historically accurate. The characters are drawn well differentiated and economically determined. It certainly does not matter that a figure like Nathaniel Bumppo would have been almost impossible in this environment and the noble savage indeed shows only a better way. Cooper writes the story with the distance of almost 100 years. The Deerslayer was published in 1841, the last of the Leatherstocking Tales - books. This world was there disappeared long ago. The pessimism of the author concerning the ecological change is evident. We will refer to our current problems. What more can you expect from literature. "
