If you guess his name, your get to keep your baby. Believe it or not, this is a Scholastic children’s paperback version of the grim Grimm fairy tale. Gorey was the perfect artist for this project - and the book is filled with his sly, funny, and meticulous illustrations.

Condition
Fair to Good. Complete, no markings. A few small cover creases and slight soiling. Back cover has ink stain (on black art - see photo) which bled through slightly to the blank inside back cover (again, see photo).
