- W4229878612 abstract "Reviewed by: Nail Soup Deborah Stevenson Maddern, Eric , ad. Nail Soup; illus. by Paul Hess. Frances Lincoln, 2007 [28p] ISBN 978-1-84507-479-1$16.95 Reviewed from galleys R 5-8 yrs Maddern retells the familiar old tale of a traveler who begs hospitality from a cottage dweller, promising to prepare her a delicious soup from only a nail and then hoodwinking her into providing a collection of savory ingredients. The retelling is modeled very closely on the Yolen version a note cites as its source; changes—including a final moment and afterword that imply the woman was in on the joke—make the players more two comrades in a fancy than a trickster and ungenerous victim, an interesting twist. The stylized views in the watercolor art favor scenes of backs and hands, but they also emphasize the playful possibilities of the text, making [End Page 217] our traveler not an impoverished hobo but a movie-idol gypsy in a shimmering patchwork coat; despite textual reference to the hostess as granny, she's an ample young matron whose home-decorating touches suggest an artistic soul, and who might well be impressed with more than the handsome traveler's cooking. This isn't a definitive version of the much-adapted tale, but its interesting take could make it a useful variant to employ in contrast to others, such as Compestine's The Real Story of Stone Soup (BCCB 4/07).
