Quite Unexpected from The Hat Guy

4 stars

Intriguing short story adapted from Austrian folktale, accompanied by some beautiful art.

The tale is simplistic, but melancholy, and is easy enough to follow for someone young, though I was left a bit puzzled by the motivations of the characters.

I think I would like to read the original tale Klassen adapted this from.
