Though the classic fairytales we all know and love have been redone about a thousand times, it is only one or two in that thousand that actually improves upon the original. Now I'm not saying that the Andreas Krapf drawings make these stories any better; rather, they just add a little bit of spice to them.
It is rare, too, that an illustrator will add a humorous and contemporary flair to stories that are usually void of both qualities. The Andreas Krapf drawings look like they could be straight out of a late night cartoon, and have just the right amount of demented quality about them.
