I selected this title because it was illustrated by Kinuko Craft. However, the monotone washes and pen-and-ink illustrations do not hint at the lushness of her contemporary work. Includes three standard fairy tales/folk tales focusing on Ogres: The Count and the Fox (a variant of "Puss in Boots"), Hop O My Thumb, and The Ogre, the Stone, and the Clever Cat.
