In competition with four other teams they'll drive through China, Mongolia and Siberia, through deserts, swamps and over mountain passes. If a man can do it, then of course a girl can do it! So Julia and her uncle Charles decide to take up the challenge posed by the Paris newspaper Le Matin on January 31, 1907: they'll drive their Spyker in the long-distance Peking-Paris Rally. We therefore pose the question: This summer, will there be someone daring enough to drive a car all the way from Peking to Paris? The unique environment created by these intimate, yet powerful pictures will enchant young and old alike.Ī Formidable Challenge: Yet to be proven is whether a driver, supplied with a car, can do anything and can drive anywhere.

The pictures, like the stories, allow us to travel back in time, but they remain modern and fresh. This treasury of stories becomes, in the best sense, a gift to all - children will discover countless details, and in the red-and-white vignettes they will 'read' the stories on their own more seasoned readers will be surprised by new perspectives.

She references the familiar while calling our attention to new details. In numerous vignettes and colorful larger scenes, Julie Völk presents the stories anew in her own unique style. Just as the tales themselves enter our dreams, make us shiver and sometimes cause us to laugh out loud, the illustrations cast their own spell. There are strange creatures to discover, along with clever girls and boys witches playing tricks, and yes, even the Devil is at work. Julie Völk guides us through enchanted waterways, through thick forests and breathtaking mountain landscapes she shows us magical gardens and pauses while we marvel at secret cottages and mighty palaces. This selection of stories unites familiar and beloved tales with a few others that deserve to be discovered anew.
