Description

Polish Folklore and Myth by Alice Wadowski-Bak and Joanne Asala is a treasure trove of engaging folk stories. The book features original paper-cuts (wycinaki) illustrations by Polish-American artist Alice Wadowski-Bak, showcasing her exquisite artistry. The stories collected in this book are vividly interpreted and portrayed through the medium of wycinanki, a traditional Polish art form that dates back to the 1800s. The result is a unique blend of folk lore and visual art, making this book a special gift for personal collections. Within its pages, you'll discover tales such as "The Violin," "The Headache Cure," and "Midsummer's Eve," among others, all beautifully illustrated with wycinanki designs by Alice Wadowski-Bak.
