The Skull: A Tyrolean Folktale by Jon Klassen

adventurous dark mysterious
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

bought this for 4 bucks at salvation army cus caught my eye and cus i like having this stuff for work. was NOT expecting to genuinely enjoy this as much as i did omg. at a certain point i was just like wait, who /are/ these characters? i can already tell that this is one of those books i'll have a hard time getting outta my head 

also the art is so gorgeous and creepy, idk if the story would've been the same for me without it. perfect mix of childish n creepy PLUS the colours r so good. 

the book is probably too scary for me to actually use in a work setting tho lol but i have decided that i should definitely read more folktales
