The Spider and the Fly
illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi, written by Mary Howitt, and published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
About
DiTerlizzi’s wickedly delicious tribute to silent film – based on the cautionary tale penned by Mary Howitt in 1829 – presents an old-fashioned, cackling villain and a naïve damsel in distress in this ambient, moody picture book with all the allure of the flickering silver screen.
