About the author:
WANDA GÁG translated 52 of Grimm’s fairy tales, although she had not completely illustrated More Tales from Grimm at the time of her death in 1946. Ms. Gag was posthumously honored with the 1958 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award and the 1977 Kerlan Award.
About the illustrator:
MARGOT TOMES has illustrated more than 30 books for young readers, many of them for Coward, McCann & Geoghegan. Ms. Tomes chose The Sorcerer’s Apprentice from Wanda Gag’s collection as a companion volume to Jorinda and Joringel, which was published in 1978 to starred reviews in School Library Journal (“the witch is wonderfully witchy”) and ALA Booklist (“an elegant translation of the Grimm tale..,in the company of cozy drawings…featuring a properly ugly old sorceress”)
