The Skull: A Tyrolean Folktale by Jon Klassen Hardcover Book

Description: The Skull by Jon Klassen Caldecott Medalist and #1 New York Times best-selling author-illustrator Jon Klassen delivers a deliciously macabre treat for folktale fans.In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit – with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating authors note – The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.

Review Klassens recognizable graphite-and-ink illustrations capture the haunting—yet somehow charming—atmosphere of the stark Austrian setting, where shadows loom, bones come to life, and apricot sunshine cuts through the gloom. . . . Is the story creepy? You bet, but its also weirdly sweet and characterized by agency, kindness, and choice. . . . Klassens newest offering will be highly coveted. * Booklist (starred review) *Readers can enjoy a quick read, the implementation of interesting literary elements, and the humor that we have come to know from Klassen. * School Library Connection * Details ISBN1529509572 Author Jon Klassen Pages 112 Audience Age 6-8 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781529509571 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-07-05 Imprint Walker Books Ltd Subtitle A Tyrolean Folktale Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-07-05 NZ Release Date 2023-07-05 UK Release Date 2023-07-05 ISBN-10 1529509572 Illustrator Jon Klassen DEWEY 813.6 Audience Children / Juvenile Series The Norendy Tales We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
