"""The architect Andrew Bernheimer and fairy tale expert Kate Bernheimer, a brother and sister team, assigned design professionals to imagine the places where characters from children's stories outwitted their enemies and usually lived happily ever after . . . the Bernheimers' collection of 19 case studies, ""Fairy Tale Architecture"" [is] a welcome dose of deadpan escapism for a year otherwise so drained of joy."" --The New York Times"
