This was wonderful, from the story and feelings in it, to the amazing art.

Love this art style (it reminds me of Over the Garden Wall!) and brought to my attention an old Breton folktale I would never have learned about otherwise.

A retold folk tale that is beautifully illustrated. This is the rare story where I would have loved to see a bit more from - mostly to see more of these characters and this world

It’s based on a mythological story, I believe. There are multiple retellings of the story and this was just one of them.
