Clever, humourous, simple, and wise--this fable, fabulously illustrated, brings to life an important truth for children and adults alike. Also includes a brief story Kurt Vonnegut recounted about he and Joseph Heller that adds an apt underline to the fable.

Fausto claims he owns everything. But does he?

I think I enjoyed the book and illustrations more than the kids did. I think it is definitely a book for older kids, not so much kindergarten.

I love a kids book where the main character dies for being an asshole

** A copy of The Fate of Fausto was provided by the publisher and Edelweiss+ in exchange for an honest review **

As usual, Oliver Jeffers delivers a story that is beautiful - in its words, illustrations and lessons. Jeffers continues to be one of my favourite author/illustrator of children's books. The Fate of Fausto is a poignant tale adults and children will appreciate and learn from.
