Illustrated by
Katya Krenina.
Kimmel and Krenina set this artful retelling of a Latvian folktale in Ukraine. The simpleton youngest son inherits the farm, only to give it to his older brothers so he can join his cat bride in her enchanted castle. Exquisite mixed-media illustrations enhance the sense that all is not what it seems.
