"In a New Light", is the result of an assignment set for HND Fine Art students of Salisbury College in 2005/6. Inspired by David Hockney's 1969 series of etchings and illustrations of Grimms' Tales, each student responded to the stories as myths with contemporary significance. They created original relief prints using lino-cuts, wood-cuts and engraving to illustrate their selected stories, which were then collected and bound into a beautiful book.

The book contains eleven original prints, with extracts from the tales. It is hand-made and bound in wood and leather. The calligraphy for the front piece illustration was done by Susan Gleny.
