Bring home both the Catholic Illustrated Classic and the feature film in this Grisly Grisell set.
Set during England’s turbulent Wars of the Roses, Grisly Grisell tells the timeless story of Grisell Dacre and Leonard Copeland, two children from rival houses joined by a marriage contract meant to bring peace between the Red and White Roses. But when a tragic accident leaves Grisell permanently disfigured and the engagement in question, her life takes a turn. Rejected for her appearance yet steadfast in goodness and virtue, Grisell’s quiet heroism reveals a beauty far deeper than what can be seen. Grisell’s virtues shine through and transform her disfigured countenance which in the end wins the heart of the most unexpected hero who undergoes a transformation of his own.
The beautifully abridged picture book by Br. Jonas Houston—a hardbound, 150-page, 21-chapter retelling with 32 exquisite illustrations by Bernadette Shields—captures the grace and moral depth of Charlotte M. Yonge’s classic A Tale of the Wars of the Roses. Arranged and published by Industrious Family this story is destined to delight generations of young readers.
The film adaptation, release in 2022, brings the story to life onscreen with heartfelt performances by Abbey Erskine, Michael Bowen, Faustina Bowen, and others. Directed by Mary Bowen and written by Faustina Bowen, the movie presents a faithful and moving portrayal of Grisell’s spiritual development—showing that true beauty shines brightest in a virtuous soul.
Together, the book and film offer a rich, inspiring experience your family will treasure—an unforgettable reminder that beauty is more than skin deep.
