Spider and the Fly

"DiTerlizzi's reimagining of Howitt's nineteenth-century cautionary poem is an illustrative tour de force, a stylistic homage to Gorey, Rackham, and Addams; the black-and-white illustrations have a junior-high appealing slickness yet remarkable depth and detail, from border ornamentation to ironic visual touches....Masterful drafting and artful composition combine in this spookily sophisticated picture book that offers a macabrely funny look at trusting even the most persuasive of strangers."Howitt, Mary is the author of 'Spider and the Fly' with ISBN 9780812058055 and ISBN 0812058054.
