Sand's elongated fairy tale-from Tales of a Grandmother, a collection of Breton stories-concerns a saintly child in a world of greed. His dearest wish is for his parents' love, but they repeatedly spurn him. Lord Bumblebee tries unsuccessfully to corrupt the saintly Jack; failing, he turns on the boy, but Jack escapes to a heaven-like place ruled by flowers, one of whom is his fairy godmother. The bee-people, birds, and flowers lend themselves to Spirin's richly ornate paintings, a fairly successful (if eclectic) style that makes reference to Botticelli, Hals, Canaletto, the painters of the German Renaissance, and the Pre-Raphaelites, among others.
