Jack & the Beanstalk: A Folktale

40 pp. | Minedition | January, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-988-8341-36-8 $17.99
(3) K-3 A faithful retelling with the refrain "FEE, FIE, FO, FUM! I SMELL THE BLOOD OF AN ENGLISHMAN!" However, when Jack climbs the beanstalk, he spots some strange creatures. Töwe, "inspired by the sixteenth-century paintings of Giuseppe Arcimboldo," has painted arresting surreal visages for the giant and his wife, composed of fish, snails, birds, buildings, and other objects. Visually delightful, especially for sophisticated viewers.
