Summary
In Boots and His Brothers, master storyteller Eric A. Kimmel retells a timeless Norwegian folk tale with rich language and signature wit. When three brothers set out to seek their fortunes, it’s the youngest—often overlooked and underestimated—who shows true courage and cleverness. Known affectionately as “Boots,” this unlikely hero must face tests of character, magical challenges, and sibling rivalry. Kimberly Bulcken Root’s hauntingly beautiful illustrations bring the Nordic setting to life, with deep shadows, golden twilight, and evocative silhouettes that transport readers into a land of myth and mystery.
This edition, protected in a Brodart cover and in excellent condition despite being a former library copy, is perfect for collectors, educators, and fans of fairy tales and folklore. A heartening reminder that kindness and bravery can outshine arrogance and bluster, Boots and His Brothers makes a stunning addition to any bookshelf.
