Written and illustrated by sisters Natalia and Lauren O'Hara, Frindleswylde is an original fairy-tale that first came to my attention a few years ago, when it won a Children's Books Ireland Award in the illustration category. As someone who follows CBI and their work, I naturally took notice, and determined to track down a copy. I'm glad I did, as I found this a lovely book, one that certainly deserved the award for the artwork! Laure O'Hara's illustrations are beautiful, sometimes utilizing a subtle blue and green-centered palette appropriate to the icy scenes, and then sometimes using a more dazzling array of color, as when Cora and Granny escape from Frindleswylde's world. The story is engaging, but I found I liked the idea of it more than the actual telling. I'm hoping to track down more by this sororal pair, so perhaps I'll appreciate Natalia O'Hara's writing more in a different title. In any case, tastes vary, and the story has appeal (even if not equal to the artwork, in my estimation), so I'd still recommend it, to young fairy-tale lovers, and to picture book readers who appreciate beautiful artwork.
