The way they illustrate how the protag shares his newfound advice to the people he met on his journey, what an incredible framing device.

I really love this book

The fisherman who rows the ferry looks upon the solution to his problem proposed by the protagonist

The protagonist tells the farmer how to heal his daughter. He points to a poison stone under her bed.

The wife sleeping in the dragon's bed with him and pricking his feathers to give to the protag under their bed is so much more tense. And it makes more sense than the devil falling asleep in granny's lap where she picks his hairs.

I adore how the artist poses the wife on this page. The attitude.

Page where the dragon's wife sits in bed and puts one of his feathers to the side.

Illustration of the original fairytale where the devil sleeps in his grandma's lap and she looks through his hair

I love how they streamlined the original tale.

Skipping to the better second half of the story, the change of characters, the way our protag gets info from the dragon's wife instead of the devil's grandma. Also the wife is hot.

Our protagonist enters the dragon's home where the dragon's wife greets him

Picture books with wilder art styles always left a stronger mark on my memory.

I remember staring at this book for hours picking apart its surreal imagery.

Had no idea this picture book I grew up with was an adaptation of a Brother's Grimm fairytale 😭 specifically "The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs"

GIVEN X HEARTSTOPPER

When an unlikely friendship between a nerdy college-bound person and a spontaneous punk bassist is stopped in its tracks by the bassist making a move, will their friendship be ruined or transformed into something more?
