A review by blakemp
The Fir-Tree by Lilli Carré

3.0

I never read this short story as a child, but I wanted to get the graphic novel adaptation recently produced by Lilli Carre. Wow... I don't know what to say, except that this is one of the saddest Christmas stories I think I've ever read. I don't need every book I read to have a happy ending, but when you're pulling out the holiday tales, you kind of expect it. This one... did not do it for me.
